ENGLISH
Before cleaning or maintenance, always turn the
unit off and unplug from the mains.
CLEANING THE EXTERNAL UNIT
We recommend cleaning the unit with a sli-
ghtly damp cloth then drying with a dry cloth.
For safety reasons, do not wash the air condi-
tioner with water.
Precautions
Never clean with benzene, alcohol or sol-
vents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS.
To maintain the air conditioning unit at peak
efficiency, you are recommended to:
1. Clean the anti-bacteria filter weekly.
2. Replace the FILTRETE™ filter at the end of
each season or when spent (follow the
instructions on the unit near the filter).
The air purification filters are located behind the
two intake grilles. The grilles in fact house the fil-
ters themselves.
To clean the filters:
1.Remove the intake grilles by rotating them
outwards (Fig.
F
).
To remove dust deposited on the anti-bacte-
ria filter, use a vacuum cleaner. If very dirty,
rinse repeatedly in warm water at a tempe-
rature of not more than 40°C.
After washing, dry the filter. To replace, put
the filters back into the filter holder, then hook
the latter to the unit.
Do not clean the FILTRETE™ filter as this
would reduce its filtering capacity.
END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
Take out the condensation basin located in
the rear of the unit and empty it.
Empty the residual water by removing the
bung in the drainage tube.
After replacing the bung, put the condensa-
tion basin back.
Clean the filters and dry well before repla-
cing.

BEGIN OF SEASON CHECKS
Check that the power cable and socket are
undamaged and that the earth installation is
efficient.
