In addition to that it is preferable to keep the device far from direct sunlight exposure or heat sources in order to avoid inaccurate sensor readings.
• The CST remote control is equipped with touch sensitive buttons. Operate with clean hands and without dust or liquids nearby.
• The CST Remote control is expected to run for approx. 6 months with the same batteries. This assumption is based on the use of 2300 mAh LR6 “AA” batteries.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The appliance has a self diagnosis system to identify a number of warning/malfunctions. Error messages are displayed on the appliance display.

TIPS FOR CORRECT USE
To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations:

• Close the windows and doors where air conditioner will be used. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 0,39 inches – 1 cm) to guarantee proper ventilation.
• Never use the appliance in very damp rooms (laundries for example).
• Protect the room from direct exposure to the sun by partially closing curtains and/or blinds to make the appliance much more economical to run.
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.
• Make sure the air conditioner is standing on a level surface.
• Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner.
• Never obstruct the air intake or air outlet flap (see fig. below).

CLEANING

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by touching the button, then unplug from the outlet.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, never wash the air con- ditioner with water.

Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the ap- pliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the eff- ciency of the appliance decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week. The filter is housed in the intake grille. To clean the filter, extract as shown in fig. 9.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The water should never be hotter than 104°F. After wash- ing the filter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it. The filter helps capture dust and pollen.

START OF SEASON CHECKS
Make sure the power cable and plug are undamaged and the electrical outlet is in working order. Follow the installation instructions precisely.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
To drain all water from the circuit, remove the external cap by unscrewing it in the counter clockwise direction and allow the water to drain out into a basin (fig. 10).

When the appliance is empty, replace the caps. Clean the filter and dry thoroughly before putting back. In order to properly storage the appliance at the end of the sea- son, we suggest you cover it with the supplied end of season dust cover (B9) and you put the accessories in the relevant end of season accessories bag (B8).dust cover and accessories bag only included with some models.
