CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the unit from the power socket.
1. Cleaning the air filters
The air conditioner is equipped with two filters, one
rear and one side.
The air filters must be checked at least once every
two weeks of operation. Operating with dirty or
clogged filters will decrease the effectiveness of the
air conditioner and can cause serious problems.
To remove the rear filter, unhook the rear grille and
then remove the filter, gently pulling it towards the
side (Filter 1).
The side filter must be removed by pulling the tab
on the filter itself (Filter 2).
Then replace the rear grille.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust. Should
this not be sufficient, wash the filter with lukewarm
water and neutral detergent (if necessary), rinse it
with cold water then leave it to dry naturally before
putting it back in place. After putting the filter back
in place, close the grille and resume use of the air
conditioner.
2. Cleaning the casing.
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer surface of
the air conditioner.
Do not use excessively hot water, solvents, petrol or
other aggressive chemical compounds, talcum
powder and brushes: they may damage the surface
or colour of the casing.
Remove any stains using 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, clean the filters before storing it away.
Keep the appliance in a vertical position at all times. Do not place any heavy objects on the
top and, if possible, protect the air conditioner with a plastic sheet.
4. Transport.
Preferably keep the air conditioner in the vertical
position when transporting it.
Should this not be possible, rest it on its right-hand side;
when it reaches its destination, immediately put the
appliance in the vertical position and wait at least 4 hours
before using it in the cooling mode.
5. For complete safety, regularly check the condition of the power cord; should it be damaged through use,
contact the Service Centre to replace it.
