3. MAINTENANCE AT BEGINNING OF LONG OFF PERIOD

●

Run the unit by setting the operation mode to
(COOL), the temperature to 32°C and the fan speed
to HI for about half a day on a fine day, and dry the
whole of the unit.

●

Switch off the power plug.

REGULAR INSPECTION

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONAL EITHER
EVERY HALF YEARLY OR YEARLY. CONTACT YOUR SALES AGENT OR SERVICE SHOP.

Is the earth line disconnected or broken?

Is the mounting frame seriously affected by rust and is the
outdoor unit tilted or unstable?

Is the plug of power line firmly plugged into the socket?
(Please ensure no loose contact between them).

Air

Blow

Cleaning and maintenance must be carried out only by qualified service personal. Before cleaning,
stop operation and switch off the power supply.
