6. MAINTENANCE
6.1
General Maintenance.
Turn the unit OFF and disconnect it from the mains power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
6.1.2 Inspect the unit on a regular basis and replace or repair any damaged parts.
Use recommended parts and an
authorised service agent
.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.1.3 Do not use any solvents or abrasive material to clean the plastic exterior of the unit. Use only a damp soft cloth
for cleaning and dry the unit afterwards with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
6.2
Air Filter.
If the air filter becomes blocked with dust this will effect the efficiency of the unit. The air filter should
be checked after every two or three uses. Remove the air filter (see above) from behind the back air
inlet vent and clean it as follows. Remove any excess of dust using a small soft brush such as a clean paint
brush. Prepare a container of warm water (40°C) containing a neutral detergent and immerse the filter in it.
Gently agitate the filter in the water then rinse it in clean water. Shake off any excess water and leave it in a safe
place to air dry. Reinsert the filter into the unit. Do not run the unit without the filter.
6.3
Drainage.
When the unit is cooling/dehumidifying, condensed water will drain into the internal water tank which
has a capacity of two litres. When the tank is full a buzzer will sound 20 times and an error code ‘E4’ will appear
at the bottom of the main display. The cooling system will switch off automatically and the fan will cut out after 3
minutes. The system cannot be restarted until the tank has been drained.
6.3.1 Turn off the unit and unplug it from the mains supply.
6.3.2 Place the drainage tray under the drainage outlet.
6.3.3 Unscrew the drainage cap and prepare to remove the bung.
NOTE: The inner tank may contain more water than the capacity of the drain tray. Be prepared to
replace the bung before the tray is full.
6.3.4 Remove the rubber bung and allow the water to drain. Replace bung before tray is full.
6.3.5 Repeat the above steps until all the water has been drained.
6.3.6 Replace the rubber bung.
6.3.7 Screw the drainage cap back onto the drainage outlet and tighten it to fully push the bung home.
6.4
Continuous Drainage.
To provide continuous drainage for the unit remove the drainage cap and rubber bung
and push the black plastic hose supplied onto the drainage outlet. For effective drainage keep the open end of
the hose at a lower level than the drainage outlet. The hose can be extended if required with 18mm plastic pipe.
6.5
If the unit is to be unused for sometime be sure to drain all condensed water from the tank.
