CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, turn off and unplug the unit. For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner.
EXTERIOR SURFACES OF THE APPLIANCE
Clean the air conditioner by using a damp sponge, and dry it with a clean cloth afterwards.
Never use alcohol or any product containing solvents.
AIR FILTER
The air filter collects dust contained in the air. To keep the dust from clogging the appliance, the unit must always be used with its air filter.
The build up of dust reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner, therefore, the air filter must be cleaned every two weeks, and more often if the machine operates in a dusty atmosphere.
If the filter is obstructed, the air conditioner will be less efficient.
Remove the air filter with the appliance switched off, by pulling upward on the tab.
Never use hot or soapy water.
Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, you can wash it in warm water. Make sure that the air filter is completely dry before putting it back.
Do not bend the filter.
LONG TERM STORAGE
When the season has ended or when you plan not to use the unit, we recommend the following procedure to be taken:
Drain excess water from the pan.
Run the unit for 3 or 4 hours in fan mode. This will thoroughly dry the inside of the unit.
Disconnect the appliance and wrap power cord and plug.
Clean the appliance and store it, protecting it from dust.
Store the appliance in an upright position. Keep it in a cool / dry place and away from sunshine.
