CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

To ensure the air intake is filtered properly and to assure that your air conditioner runs efficiently, it is crucial to clean the air filters regularly.

When the air conditioner has been in use for a certain amount of time, the green LED (3) on the control panel (Fig. 5) will start to flash indicating that it is time to clean the air filters.

•Press the stand-by button to switch off the air conditioner. Remove the air filters housed in the air intake grilles on each side.

•Press the grips to release the air grilles and pull the filters frames up to remove from the frame (Fig. 22 & 23).

•Use a vacuum cleaner or tap lightly to remove loose dust and dirt from the filters. Then rinse them thoroughly under warm or cold running water (no hotter than 100F.)

•Dry thoroughly before re-inserting the filters.
