10.1

Cleaning the remote controller

clean the remote controller.
• Do not use glass cleaners or chemical cloths.
10.2

Cleaning the indoor unit

• For difficult stains, use a neutral detergent diluted in water.
Eliminate the excess of water form the cloth before wiping.
Leave the unit clean from any detergent.
10.3

Cleaning the air filters

The air filter traps the dust circulated from the room into the
indoor unit.
If the filter becomes blocked, the air conditioner's efficiency
will be reduced, the compressor could be damaged and the
indoor unit's heat exchanger coil could freeze up.
Clean the air filter regularly to prevent this from happening.
In order to do so:
• Remove the air filters by slightly pushing up the center tab
until it is released from the stopper and remove the filter
downwards.
• Clean the filter removing the dust or the dirt using a
vacuum cleaner or cleaning them with cold water.
- 18 -
• Ensure that the filters are dried completely (dry in the
shade) before putting them back into the unit. The
activated carbon filters (where fitted) can be reactivated
by placing in direct sunlight. If strange odours are still
smelt replace with new. If strong odours continue to be a
problem, contact your after sales service provider to fully
clean the unit.
• Attach the filter correctly and make sure it is completely
fixed behind the stopper. If the right and left filters are not
properly fixed, this could cause a malfunction.
WARNING:
b
Danger of breakdowns or malfunction.
Do not attach perfume systems, anti-odour systems
etc. in the filter or in the inside air return.
This can damage and soil the heat exchanger coil. If
necessary, install these systems at the unit's outlet
point and ensure they only run when the fan is on.

brush when the unit is located in a dusty environment.
