TIPS FOR CORRECT USE

To ensure optimal results from your air conditioner, follow these recommendations:

• close the windows and doors in the room to be air-conditioned 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.

Close doors and windows

• 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

Close blinds or curtains

• 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.

do not cover the appliance

• Never rest objects of any kind on the air conditioner;
• Never obstruct the air intake or outlet grilles;

CLEANING

Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off by touching the button, then unplug from the outlet.
CLEANING THE CABINET
You should clean the appliance with a slightly damp cloth then dry it with a dry cloth. For safety reasons, never wash the air con-
conditioner with water.
Precautions
Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.

CLEARING THE AIR FILTER OR SILVER-ION AIR FILTER (If fitted)

To maintain the efficiency of the air conditioner, it is recommended to clean the dust filter after every week of use.
The filter is located near the intake grille. Remove the grille to access the filter. To clean the filter, it will need to be extracted as shown in fig. 8-9.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust deposited on the filter. If it is very dirty, submerge it into warm water and rinse it several times. The water temperature must be kept below 104° F. After washing the filter, allow it to dry. To replace, put the filter back in its housing. If present, the silver- ion air filter not only re- contains powder particles but also performs an efficient antibacterial action. In addition, it greatly reduces irritants such as pollen and spores. The filter is treated with small particles of silver (with dimensions equal to millionths of a millimeter) which are able to block the multiplication of bacteria and spores when in contact with them, and therefore encourage their destruction.

CHECKS AT THE START OF THE SEASON

Make sure the power cord and socket are in perfect condition and make sure the earthing system is efficient. Comply strictly with the installation standards.

END OF SEASON OPERATIONS

To completely drain the water from the internal circuit, remove the cap from the outside of the drainage hose, turning it counterclockwise. Then remove the internal cap (fig. 10). Drain the water completely into a basin. When it is completely drained, replace the caps, making sure they are completely closed. Clean the filter as indicated previously. The filter must be completely dry before reinserting it.

When the appliance is empty, replace the caps.
Clean the filter and dry it thoroughly before putting it back.

SELECT MODELS ONLY: In order 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 put the accessories in the relevant end-of-season accessories bag B10.
