warnings/malfunctions. Error messages are displayed on the appliance display.
TIPS FOR CORRECT USE
TIPS FOR CORRECT USE
To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these
recommendations:
- Close the windows and doors where the air conditioner will be used. When installing the air conditioner semi-permanently, you should leave a door slightly open (as little as 1/2 inch – 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 figure below).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by using the button, then unplug it from the outlet.
- For safety reasons, never wash the appliance using a water jet.
- Clean the air filter/filters regularly.
CLEANING THE CABINET
- You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth.
- Attention! Never use petrol, alcohol, or solvents to clean the appliance.
- Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency 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, remove as shown in Fig. 8.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust collected on the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse it in warm water and rinse it several times.
- The water should never be hotter than 104°F.
- After washing 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 ground system is
sufficient. 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 counterclockwise direction and allow the water to drain out into a
basin (fig. 9).
When the appliance is empty, replace the caps. Clean the filter and dry it thoroughly before putting it back. To properly store the appliance at the end of the season, 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).
