Cleaning of discharge louver
The discharge louver can be removed to clean.
1. Remove the discharge louver.
Holding the both ends of the discharge louver,
remove the louver sagging the center downward.
2. Cleaning with water
If the dirt is terrible, clean the louver by tepid water
with neutral detergent or water.
3. Mount the discharge louver.
First push in one side of the louver, and then insert
the other side sagging the center downward.
REQUIREMENT
Be sure to clean the heat exchanger with
pressurized water.
If a commercially available detergent (strong alkaline or
acid) cleaning agent is used, the surface treatment of the
heat exchanger will be marred, which may degrade the
self cleaning performance.
For details, contact the dealer.
Be careful to the direction of the louver when
mounting.
Mount the louver so that the side with the mark faces
upward and the arrow direction of the mark directs.
(2) Insert in the louver sagging
down the center downward.

Periodic Maintenance
For environmental conservation, it is strongly recommended that the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner
in use be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure efficient operation of the air conditioner.
When the air conditioner is operated for a long time, periodic maintenance (once a year) is recommended.
Furthermore, regularly check the outdoor unit for rust and scratches, and remove them or apply rustproof
treatment, if necessary.
As a general rule, when an indoor unit is operated for 8 hours or more daily, clean the indoor unit and outdoor unit
at least once every 3 months. Ask a professional for this cleaning / maintenance work.
Such maintenance can extend the life of the product though it involves the owner’s expense.
Failure to clean the indoor and outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, freezing, water leakage, and
even compressor failure.
Inspection before maintenance
Following inspection must be carried out by a qualified installer or qualified service person.
