CLEANING Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by pressing the ON/Standby button on the control panel or remote control, wait for a few minutes then unplug from the socket. CLEANING THE CABINET You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. ✔ Never wash the air conditioner with water. It could be dan- gerous. ✔ Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar. CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS To keep your air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean the dust filters every week of operation. Dust filter supplied with all models 35 The filter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the filters, proceed as follows: • Remove the intake grille by pulling it outwards (fig. 35). • Remove the dust filter by detaching it from the grille (Fig. 36). • Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a num- ber of times. The water should never be hotter than 101°F (40°C). • After washing, leave the filter to dry completely. • To replace, put the filters back in the intake grille then attach the intake grille to the appliance. 36 Silver ion filter and 3M® electrostatic filter (certain models only) These two filters are located behind the dust filter. To clean the dust filter, the two supplementary filters must be temporarily removed. To clean, use a vacuum cleaner at medium power. The silver ion filter can be washed with cold water. Leave to dry completely and replace. It should be replaced at least once every two seasons. The 3M® filter is not washable and must replaced at the end of the season or when it is exhausted and no longer efficient. ✔ The silver ion filter and 3M® filter can be bought from shops selling De'Longhi accessories or authorized service centers. 16
