·
Before cleaning the unit, switch it to the ''off'' position and remove the plug from the power
socket.
·
To clean the outside, use a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
·
Never use detergents, corrosive elements or any chemicals to clean this product.

product.
CLEANING AND DRAINING THE WATER TANK:
·
To refill the tank during operation, turn the power ''OFF'' and disconnect the unit from the
power supply.
·
To clean the water tank, turn the unit ''OFF'' and disconnect the power supply. Move the unit
to a location where it can be drained and remove the drain plug (see number 12 on parts
description). Once the tank is empty, refill it with clean water and drain it again. This should
be repeated weekly to maintain the integrity of the unit and to remove particles filtered from
the air.
·
Once the tank is clean, refill the water tank. The unit is now ready to be used again.
MAINTAING AND CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB:
·
The appliance is supplied with Honeycomb cooling media.
·
Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will greatly
reduce mineral deposits in the pads and help to extend the life of Honeycomb cooling media.
·
Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank.
·
It is recommended to empty the tank and refill it with fresh water if the water has been
standing in the tank for an extended period of time.
·
The frequency for cleaning depends on local air and water conditions. For example, in areas
where mineral content of the water is high, deposits may build up in the Honeycomb cooling
media, restricting air flow. In this case, it is recommended to clean the Honeycomb cooling
media every two months.
·
For best results, allow the Honeycomb cooling media to dry after each use by turning off the
cool function 15 minutes before turning the unit off.
