Reinstalling
If the PLASMA/WASH lamp on the indoor unit blinks, clean the filters as soon as possible. The lamp
will start blinking when accumulated operating time exceeds 330 hours.
Switch the indoor unit off with the remote controller and
disconnect the power supply plug and/or turn off the
breaker. Otherwise, you may get injured since the PLASMA
DEODORIZING/AIR PURIFYING filter units are charged
with high voltage.
Cleaning
¥
Vacuum the filter surface using a vacuum cleaner
or wash with water, and then soak the filters in
warm water of 30 to 40°C for 10 to 15 minutes. (To
remove persistent stains, clean the filters with a
water-diluted mild or weak alkali detergent.)
Deodorizing ceramic filter inside the PLASMA
DEODORIZING filter unit is fragile, so handle it with
care. Clean the filter without removing it from the filter
unit. (See the description to the right for the details of
the deodorizing ceramic filter.)
ø
After the filter units have been soaked, shake them
horizontally and vertically and then rinse under
running water. Shake off excess water.
To remove persistent soiling, such as oil and
nicotine stains, repeat the above steps two to
three times.
π
Dry the filter units by hanging them in a shaded,
well-ventilated place. If the filter units are not
hanged, position them according to the illustration
