Certain models have a silver ion dust filter and an additional electrostatic filter in the grill at the back Silver ion filter This dust filter is treated with silver ions which not just retain dust particles, but also have an efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly reduces concentrations of irritants such as pollen and spores. Electrostatic filter The electrostatic filter retains the finest dust particles, thus enhancing the filtering capacity of the appliance. Fitting the filters to the grille The appliance can be used with only the dust filters inserted in the grille. To use the two supplementary filters (if provided with your model), remove them from the packaging and attach them to the dust filter, inserting them under the special clips (fig. 38). If you decide not to use it, keep it sealed in the packaging. 38 CLEANING Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pressing the button on the control panel or remote control, wait for a few seconds then unplug from the outlet. Cleaning the cabinet You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. • Do not wash the air conditioner with water.

Cleaning the air filters To keep your air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean the dust filters every week during operation. Cleaning the dust filters supplied with all models Each filter is housed in the intake grille.
