MAINTENANCE

Note: before cleaning and maintaining the machine, be sure to turn off the machine and pull the power plug to prevent electric shock.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (every two weeks)
Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.

1. Take the water tank from the body, and then pull out the filter from the back shell;

2. Use a vacuum cleaner to gently absorb the dust on the surface.
   If the filter is very dirty, wash it with water and a soft detergent and dry it thoroughly afterward.

3. Put the filter back.

ATTENTION
The evaporator inside the machine has to be dried out before the unit is packed to avoid component damage and molds. Unplug the unit and place it in a dry open area for days to dry it out. Another way to dry the unit is to set the humidity point more than 5% higher than the ambient humidity to force the fan to dry the evaporator for a couple of hours.

DISPOSAL
WARNING: Releasing refrigerant into atmosphere is strictly forbidden! Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
