CLEANING THE EXTERNAL UNIT We recommend cleaning the appliance with a slightly damp cloth. It should then be dried. For safety reasons, do not wash the air-conditioner with water. Precautions Never clean with benzene, alcohol or solvents. Never spray with liquid insecticide or similar. CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS To maintain the air-conditioning unit at peak efficiency, we advise you to: 1. Clean the dust filter weekly. The filters are located behind the two intake grills. The grills contain the filters. To clean the filters: 1. Remove the intake grills by rotating them outwards. (fig 11) 2. Remove the dust filter by detaching it from the external grill. 2 1 11 Dust filter intake grille 12 BEGIN OF SEASON CHECKS Check that the power cord and plug are undamaged and that the appliance is properly earthed. The installation instructions should be observed meticulously. END OF SEASON OPERATIONS Empty the water from the tank. Remove the tank (9) and empty it. To drain any residual water from the internal circuit, remove the stopper (11) from the drain tube (10) and drain completely. Re-insert the stopper and re-position the tank correctly (9). Clean the anti-bacteria filters and dry well before replacing. To remove the dust deposited on the antibacterial filter, use a vacuum cleaner. If very dirty, immerse in warm water (not more than 104° F) and rinse thoroughly. Allow the filter to dry. To replace, fit the filters to the intake grill and attach to the appliance. 15
