Compressor Protection
After powering on, or a restart, there is a three minute delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This helps to prolong the life of the compressor.
WATER DRAINAGE
•
The air conditioner has an internal water tank to collect water that accumulates
during the cooling process. This tank will need to be emptied periodically.
•
When the internal water tank is full the air conditioner will go into standby mode,
the compressor will stop and all the key functions will be disabled. The water tank
will need to be emptied before normal operation can be resumed.
•
Unplug the air conditioner from the mains supply.
•
Under the drainage plug on the rear of the unit place a shallow container to collect
the water. Use this only for temporary drainage of the unit. Do not allow the water
to drip continuously into the container, as it will overflow.
•
Remove the plug cap and the drainage plug to empty the tank.
•
When the tank is empty, refit the drainage plug and cap.
•
Reconnect the air conditioner to the mains supply and press the
POWER
button
on either the front panel or the remote control. The air conditioner will restart and
operate normally.
MAINTENANCE
Important: In order to avoid an electric shock, power-off the air conditioner and
disconnect the mains plug before performing any maintenance or repair activities.
Cleaning
•
Unplug from the mains supply before cleaning.
•
Do not splash water into the air conditioner.
•
Clean the outside of the air conditioner with a damp, not wet, cloth and dry
thoroughly before using.
•
Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents, which may damage the surface
of the air conditioner.
Filters
Clean the filters every two weeks. If the filters become blocked by dust, the efficiency
of the air conditioner will be reduced.
•
Remove the air filters on the rear of the unit.
•
Run a vacuum cleaner lightly over the surface of the filters to remove dust.
•
If the filters are exceptionally dirty wash them in warm water and a mild detergent
and allow to dry thoroughly before refitting.
Note:
Do not operate the air conditioner without the filters.
