CARE AND CLEANING
USEFUL ADVICE
WARNING! For safety’s sake, be sure to turn the air conditioner
OFF and also disconnect it from the power supply before clea-
ning it.
1. Cleaning of the Air Filter
The air filter must be cheked at least once every two weeks
operation. Operation with a dirty filter always causes a lower
efficency of the air conditioner and severe product damage.
The filter is located at the back of the intake grille in the front
of the air-conditioner and shall be removed from the upper
side of the unit. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If
there is sticky dust on the filter, wash it with lukewarm soapy
water, then rinse in clean, cold water and dry it before reinstal-
lation.
2. Cleaning of Casing and Grille.
To clean the air conditioner, wipe it with a clean soft cloth,
lightly moisted. In case it is stained, moisten the cloth with
soapy water. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals, nor very
hot water. Do not pour water over the air conditioner to clean
it: this will damage the internal components and cause an
electric shock hazard.
3. Storage.
If you are not going to make use of the air conditioner for a
long period, before storing it away clean the air filter and eva-
cuate the condensate from the indoor unit through the rear
drain pipe and from the outdoor unit tilting it. Do not discon-
nect the flexible tube, unless you are obliged to do it: in that
case protect the open halves of the couplings with the plugs
supplied as accessories, that must be tightened with a span-
ner. Always store the unit in the vertical position hanging the
outdoor unit by the handie to the rear of the indoor unit. Do
not put heavy objects on top of the unit and protect it with a
cloth or a plastic bag.
4. Transport.
Preferably keep the air conditioner in the vertical position
during transportation. If this is not possible, then lay it on one
side; when at destination put the air conditioner back in the
vertical position and wait at least 10 minutes before using it for
cooling.
5. For your safety care check periodically the conditions of
the electric supply cable; the electrical connection of the
unit is X type with cable prepared in a special way; in case
you should notice any damage due to usage, call the neare-
st After Sale Service to get the cable replaced.
If your air conditioner doesn’t work properly, first check the following
points before requesting service:
● the plug is properly inserted into the power socket;
● the circuit breaker is in the ON position and fuses have not blown;
● the air filter is not clogged;
● the flexible tube is correctly positioned without any sharp bends nor plies;
● the thermostat knob is in the proper position for the suitable tempe-
rature (twisting it clockwise verify the compressor re-start, after the
delayed time);
● the room temperature is above 15 °C;
● you have correctly carried-out the instructions contained in this
manual;
The lighting-up of lamp , together with the stop of the air conditio-
ner indicate that the condensate pump is not working or that the con-
densate drain pipe in the flexible connection pipe is obstructed. In this
case contact the After Sale Service.
In case of emergency the air conditioner can work by draining
the condensate from the back little pipe into a rather short con-
tainer; extract the little pipe and remove the cap. (See picture)
