This avoids the risk of electric shock. • Never use chemical solvents (such as benzene and alcohol) to clean the surface of the unit. This could scratch or damage the surface or even distort the external part. • Use water with delicate detergents or a soft cloth only to clean or dry plastic parts. • To clean the condensation tank, remove and completely empty it of water. Clean with neutral detergents, rinse and dry thoroughly. Then replace in the original position.

The air filter must be cleaned and/or washed at least once every two weeks. 1. Open the air filter holder grill by pulling it towards the outside. 2. Remove the filter from the filter holder gril- le. 3. Wash the air filter by immersing it delicately in warm water (no more than 40° C) (104°F) with neutral detergent, rinse and dry completely in the shade. 4.
