water. Eliminate the excess of water form the cloth
before wiping. Leave the unit clean from any

10 .3 Cleaning the Air Filters
The air filter traps the dust circulated from the room
into the indoor unit.
If the filter becomes blocked, the air conditioner's
efficiency will be reduced, the compressor could be
damaged and the indoor unit's heat exchanger coil
could freeze up.
Clean the air filter regularly to prevent this from
happening. In order to do so:
• Remove the air filters by slightly pushing up the
center tab until it is released from the stopper and
remove the filter downwards.
• Clean the filter removing the dust or the dirt using a
vacuum cleaner or cleaning them with cold water.
• Ensure that the filters are dried completely (dry in the
shade) before putting them back into the unit. The
activated carbon filters (where fitted) can be
reactivated by placing in direct sunlight. If strange
odours are still smelt replace with new. If strong
odours continue to be a problem, contact your after
sales service provider to fully deep clean the unit.
• Attach the filter correctly and make sure it is
completely fixed behind the stopper. If the right and
left filters are not properly fixed, this could cause a
malfunction.
Warning!
Danger of breakdowns or malfunction.
Do not attach perfume systems, anti-odour
systems etc. in the filter or in the inside air
return.
This can damage and soil the heat exchanger
coil. If necessary, install these systems at the
unit's outlet point and ensure they only run when
the fan is on.

surface.

brush when the unit is located in a dusty environment.

conditioner specialist or the Vaillant Group

maintenance service. This will help to prolong
the life of your equipment and improve its
