CLEANING AND CARE
●
Before cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to turn it off and disconnect the Power Supply Cable.
●
Be sure the Intake Grille (Fig. 1

) is installed securely.
●
When removing and replacing the air
fi
lters, be sure not to touch the heat exchanger, as personal injury
may result.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the Intake Grille, and remove the air
fi
lter.
Lift up the air
fi
lter’s handle, disconnect the two lower tabs,
and pull out.
2. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner or by
washing.
After washing, allow to dry thoroughly in a shaded place.
3. Replace the Air Filter and close the Intake
Grille.
1
Align the sides of the air
fi
lter with the panel, and push in
fully, making sure the two lower tabs are returned properly
to their holes in the panel.
2
Close the Intake Grille.
(For purposes of example, the illustration shows the unit without
Intake Grille installed.)
●
Dust can be cleaned from the air
fi
lter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the
fi
lter in a solution of mild detergent
and warm water. If you wash the
fi
lter, be sure to allow it to
dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
●
If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air
fi
lter, air
fl
ow will
be reduced, lowering operating ef
fi
ciency and increasing
noise.
●
During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be cleaned
every two weeks.
●
When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the unit be
inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service personnel.
●
When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 40 °C, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like benzene or
thinner.
●
Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
●
When shutting down the unit for one month or more,
fi
rst allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half day to
allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.
