Before cleaning the unit, switch it OFF and disconnect the power
plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• This may cause injury, since the fan inside rotates at high speeds
during operation.
When the unit will be unused for a long time, disconnect the power
plug or turn the breaker OFF.
• The unit may accumulate dirt, which may cause overheating or fi re.
Replace all batteries of the remote controller with new ones of
the same type.

Dirty fi lters cause condensation in the air conditioner which will contribute
to the growth of fungi such as mold. It is therefore recommended to clean air
fi lters every 2 weeks.
