CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the appliance.
1. Cleaning the air filters
The air filters must be checked at least once every two
weeks of use. Operating the appliance with dirty or
clogged filters will decrease the air conditioner's efficiency
and may cause serious problems.
To remove the upper filter
, loosen the central screw and
pull the grille’s lever.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the filters.
Should this not suffice, wash the filter with lukewarm water
and some neutral detergent (if necessary), then rinse it
thoroughly in cold water and leave it to dry in air before
putting it back in place. Once the filter has been replaced,
close the grille and resume use of the air conditioner.
2. Cleaning the casing.
Use a damp and soft cloth to clean the outer surface of the appliance.
Do not use excessively hot water, solvents, petrol or other aggressive chemical compounds, talcum powder or brushes:
these may damage the surface or colour of the casing.
Remove any stains using lukewarm water with a little neutral detergent.
Do not pour water onto the air conditioner to clean it, as this may damage its internal components or cause a short-circuit.
3. Storage.
When the air conditioner is not expected to be used for a long time, clean the filters before storing it away.
Keep the appliance in a vertical position at all times. Do not place heavy objects on top of the air conditioner. It is advisable
to protect the appliance with a plastic sheet.
4. Transport.
Transport the air conditioner in the vertical position.
Should this not be possible, rest it on its right-hand side; when the
appliance reaches its final destination, place it immediately in the
vertical position and wait at least 4 hours before operating it in cooling
mode.
5. For complete safety, regularly check the condition of the power
cord; should it be damaged as a result of wear, contact the Service Centre to replace it.
TIPS FOR MAXIMISING COMFORT AND MINIMISING CONSUMPTION
CHECK that:
the unit intake and delivery grilles are always free;
the air filters are always clean; a dirty filter will decrease the passage of air and reduce the unit's performance;
all doors and windows are closed, so as to avoid infiltration of unconditioned air;
the flexible pipe is correctly positioned, without tight bends or curves;
the room temperature is above 7°C for the cooling mode, and above 17°C for the dehumidifying mode.
