CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the Air Conditioner does not operate for a long period
If you think not to use the air conditioner for at least one month, it is necessary to carry on a complete
cleaning and then:
• Operate the air conditioner in FAN only mode for at least hlaf a day to let the Indoor Unit dry well
inside.
• Switch off the air conditioner and disconnect the power plug. Remove both batteries from the remote
controller till the air conditioner is operated again.
• The Outdoor Unit requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Do not attempt to do this yourself.
Contact your dealer or servicer.
Checks before operation
• Check that the wiring is not broken off or disconnected.
• Check that the Air Filters are correctly installed.
• Check if the air outlet or inlet is blocked after the air conditioner has not been used for a long time.
Cleaning the Rear Air Inlet Grille
The rear air inlet grille should be checked and cleaned every two weeks or more often if necessary. A
clogged air inlet grille will reduce cooling/heating efficiency.
1. Push the right and left sides of the grille with your thumb and lift it upward, then take it out.
2. Clean it with water, then use a dry cloth to wipe it.
3. Insert the upper portion of the grille back into the Unit, taking care that the left and right edges line up
correctly and place the grille into position.
