CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, unplug from the electric socket.
1. Cleaning the air filters.
The air filters must be checked at least once
every two weeks of use. Operating with dirty
or blocked filters will decrease the
effectiveness of the air-conditioner and can
cause serious problems.
To remove the filters, release the two upper
sides of the side suction grilles and leave
them in an inclined position, resting on the
lower side: now remove the filters, pulling
them delicately upwards.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. If
this should not suffice, wash the filters with
warm water and a neutral detergent if
necessary.
Rinse with cold water and leave to air dry
before replacing. Once the two filters have been replaced, close the grilles once again and return to using the air-
conditioner.
2. Cleaning the casing.
Use a damp and soft cloth to clean the exterior surface of the air-conditioner.
Do not use water that is too hot, solvents, petrol or other aggressive
chemical compounds, talcum powder or brushes: these may damage the
surface or colour of the casing.
To remove stains use warm water with a little neutral detergent.
Do not pour water onto the air-conditioner to clean it: this may damage the
internal components or cause a short circuit.
3. Storage.
When you do not envisage using the air-conditioner for a long time, before storing it away, clean the filters.
Keep the appliance in a vertical position at all times. Do not rest heavy objects on the
top and, if possible, protect the air-conditioner with a sheet of plastic.
4. Transport.
If possible, transport the air-conditioner in a vertical
position.
If not possible, lie it on its right side; when you reach your
destination, immediately return the appliance
to a vertical position and wait at least 4 hours before using
it to cool.
5. For complete safety, regularly check the condition of the power cord; if it should be damaged through use, to
replace it contact the Service Centre.
