CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning the Air Filter
Dust collects on the air filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of the system and
if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. DO NOT OPERATE the unit
without the air filter or the evaporator may become contaminated.
1.
Press POWER button to switch off the unit, then unplug the unit from the mains
2.
Remove the filter mesh from the back of the unit
3.
Use a vacuum cleaner to suck dust from the filter
4.
Turn the filter over and rinse the air filter under running water. Let the water run through the filter in the
opposite direction of air flow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry before reinstalling.
WARNING! To prevent accidental injury from extreme temperatures and sharp edges, do not touch the
evaporator surface!
STORAGE
For long term storage (more than a few weeks) it is best to clean the unit and dry it out completely:
1.
Unplug the unit and remove exhaust hose and window kit.
2.
Drain the remaining water from the unit
3.
Clean the filter and let the filter dry completely
4.
Collect the power cord at the water tank
5.
Re-install the filter in its position
6.
The unit must be kept in upright position when in storage
7.
To preserve the unit, keep in a dry, well ventilated space indoors.
Note: the evaporator has to be completely dried out to avoid component damage and mould. Unplug the unit and
leave in a dry open area for a few days to completely dry it out.
