USE & OPERATION (CONTINUED)
CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect the power adapter from the unit and
electrical socket.
•
The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter*
and Honeycomb Cooling Media.
• The Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling
Media are located inside the Rear Grill. See Figure 1
for instructions on how to remove them from the unit
for cleaning and maintenance.
• Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in
the tank. You must empty the water tank
and refill with fresh water, especially if the tank has
not been cleaned in a long time.
• The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb media
depends on local air and water conditions. In areas
where the mineral content of water is high, mineral
deposits may build up on the Honeycomb Cooling
Media and restrict air flow. Draining the water tank
and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will
help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits
remain on the Honeycomb Cooling Media, the media
should be removed and washed under fresh water.
The media should be cleaned every two months or
sooner, depending on your needs.
• For best results allow the Honeycomb Cooling Media
to dry after each use by turning off the cool function
15 minutes before turning the unit off.
Figure 1:
Removing the Carbon Dust Filter*/ Honeycomb Cooling Media:

3. Rinse the filter with clean water and let it dry before

Replace or clean media with water and a damp cloth as
needed.
