MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
■
Before cleaning the portable air conditioner, turn it off and wait a few minutes, and
then pull the power cord out of the power socket.
Cleaning the air filter
■
When the portable air conditioner is used regularly, it is necessary to clean the air
filter located behind the protective grille
A9
at least once a week to prevent the fan
from being clogged by dust.
■
Carefully remove the protective grille and remove the filter – see fig.
F
. To remove
the dust, use a vacuum cleaner. In the event of greater soiling, hand wash the filter in
a solution of lukewarm water (max. 40 °C.) and neutral detergent. Then thoroughly
rinse under running water and allow to dry naturally. Do not dry it in a clothes dryer
or in direct sunlight. Once the filter is dry, you can install them back in their place.
Note
:
Do not use the portable air conditioner without the air filter properly
installed and do not use it with wet or damp air filter.
Cleaning the outer case
■
To clean the outer case, use a soft wiping cloth dipped in a solution of lukewarm
water and neutral detergent. Then wipe the surface dry.
■
When cleaning it, do not spray the portable air conditioner with water or any other
liquid, do not pour water on it or submerge it in water or in any other liquid.
■
Do not use abrasive cleaning products, solvents, petrol, etc. for cleaning.
Storing the portable air conditioner
■
In order to dry it and to prevent the formation of moulds, leave the portable air
conditioner running in a warm room in the fan mode for approximately 12 hours.
■
Disconnect the flexible hose
B4
and store it in a safe place out of the reach of
children.
■
Drain all the condensate from the water tank – see chapter „
Condensate water
drainage
“.
■
Clean the air filter and reinstall it. Wipe the outer case of the portable air conditioner.
Remove the batteries from the remote control.
■
Store the air conditioner in a cool, dry, and dark location.
CONDESATE WATER DRAINAGE
■
The portable air conditioner is provided by two drain outlets where each drains
the condensate water from a different part of the air conditioner. In the event of
a frequent use of the portable air conditioner, it is necessary to regularly check the
condensate water status and drain it. If the dehumidification mode is selected, it is
advised to drain the condensate water using the drain hose
B8
which is connected
either to the top drain outlet or bottom drain outlet.
Note:
It is not necessary to drain the condensate water in cooling or fan modes
(provided low humidity in the room). The portable air conditioner is
designed to increase its efficiency with a small amount of water in the
condensate tank.
CONDENSATE WATER DRAINAGE FROM THE BOTTOM DRAIN OUTLET
■
Once the water level in the tank reaches the preset level, the operation of the
portable air conditioner stops and the display
C5
shows “Ft” (full tank). To drain the
condensate water from the air conditioner, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2. Carefully re-locate the portable air conditioner to a location where the water may
be drained.
3. Underneath the drain outlet
A8
, place a container into which the condensate
water will flow. Carefully remove the plug of the drain outlet
A8
. Connect the
drain hose
B8
and allow the condensate water to flow out.
4.
Once the water tank is empty (condensate water has stopped flowing),
disconnect the drain hose
B8
and put the plug back into the drain outlet
A8
.
5. Insert the power plug into a power socket and turn on the portable air
conditioner.
■
If you need to ensure the condensate water to be continuously drained from the
portable air conditioner, it is possible to connect the drain hose
B8
to a waste water
drain. Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2. Remove the plug of the drain outlet
A8
– see fig.
G1
. Connect the drain hose – see
fig.
G2
. If the length of the drain hose
B8
is insufficient, then it is necessary to
purchase a longer hose of the same type. Never extend the length of the drain
hose
B8
using extensions.
3. Connect the end of the drain hose
B8
to the waste water drain.
4. Insert the power plug into a power socket and turn on the portable air
conditioner.
Note:
The drain hose
B8
should be installed at the same height or lower than
the drain outlet
A8
– see fig.
G3
. Otherwise, the condensate water will not
be properly drained from the water tank.
Condensate water drainage from the top drain outlet
In the dehumidification mode, you can use the top drain outlet
A7
for a continuous
drainage of the condensate water.
1. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2. Remove the plug of the drain outlet
A7
– see fig.
H1
. Connect the drain hose
B8
– see fig.
H2
. If the length of the drain hose
B8
is insufficient, then it is necessary
to purchase a longer hose of the same type. Never extend the length of the drain
hose
B8
using extensions.
3. Connect the end of the drain hose
B8
to the waste water drain.
4. Insert the power plug into a power socket and turn on the portable air
conditioner.
Note:
The drain hose
B8
should be installed at the same height or lower than
the drain outlet
A7
– see fig.
H3
. Otherwise, the condensate water will not
be properly drained from the water tank.
Putting into operation again
Check that the power cord and plug are not damaged and that the air filter is clean.
Insert a new set of batteries into the remote control. Proceed according to the
instructions in section „
Inserting and replacing batteries
“. Install the portable air
conditioner according to the instructions contained in the preceding part of this
