CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE INDOOR APPLIANCE
Note: Always turn off the air conditioner and
disconnect the power source before cleaning the
appliance or removing the fi lter.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the
appliance. If the appliance is especially dirty,
use a cloth soaked in warm water to clean the
outside of the appliance.
• Do not use water to clean the inside of the
appliance as this can destroy the insulation and
cause electric shock.
• Do not use chemicals or chemically treated cloths
to clean the appliance.
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner or other
solvents to clean the appliance. They can cause
the plastic surface to crack or deform.
• Do not use water hotter than 40°C (104°F) to
clean the front panel. This can cause the panel to
deform or become discoloured.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
A clogged air fi lter can reduce the effi ciency of the
air conditioner. It is advisable to clean the air fi lter
every two weeks or after 240 hours of operation,
whichever comes fi rst. When removing the fi lter, do
not touch any metal parts inside the appliance as the
sharp metal edges can cause injury.
1. Lift the front panel of the indoor appliance.
2. Grip the tab on the end of the fi lter, lift it up and
pull it outwards to remove it from the appliance.
3. If the fi lter has a small air freshening fi lter, unclip if
from the larger fi lter. Clean the air freshening fi lter
with a soft brush or hand-held vacuum cleaner.
4. Clean the large fi lter with warm, soapy water.
Use mild detergent.
5. Rinse the fi lter with clean water. Ensure all soap
is removed from the fi lter and shake off excess
water.
6. Dry the fi lter in a cool, dry place. Do not expose
the fi lter to direct sunlight as this can warp or
shrink the fi lter.
7. When the fi lter is dry, replace the air freshening
fi lter and then slide the larger fi lter back into the
appliance.
8. Close the front panel of the indoor appliance.
Note: Do not touch the air freshening (plasma) fi lter
for at least 10 minutes after turning off the appliance
to allow it to cool.
