Before cleaning or maintaining the unit, always
turn the unit off by releasing the ON/OFF button
and unplug from the outlet
.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
We recommend cleaning the appliance with
a slightly damp cloth, then drying with a dry
cloth. For safety reasons, do not wash the air
conditioner with water.
Precautions
Never clean with benzene, alcohol or sol-
vents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
Permanent washable filter
All of the models are equipped with a per-
manent washable filter able to capture the
dust particles suspended in the air.
In order to maintain the effectiveness of your
air conditioner over time, remember to clean
the permanent washable filter every week.
1. Remove the grille , (see fig. M);
2. Remove the filter holder housing by deta-
ching it from the external grille. To detach it,
press on the two wings found on the side of
the filter holder (see fig. N)
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust
deposits on the filter. If the filter is very dirty,
immerse it in warm water, rinsing it thoroughly.

Electrostatic filter
Clean the external side of the electrostatic fil-
ter once a week. Use a vacuum cleaner at
an intermediate power level. Never clean
the inside of the filter. Replace the electrosta-
tic filter at the end of each season if it is no
longer effective. The electrostatic filter can
be purchased in the store as an accessory or
at an authorized Delonghi Service Center as
a replacement part. Alternatively, the per-
manent washable filter included with the
appliance may be used in place of the elec-
trostatic filter.
CLEANING THE RESERVOIR
It is recommended that you clean this at least
once a month using the following method:
•Turn off the appliance and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet.
•Open the front panel and remove the
tank .
• Remove the stopper from the drainage
hose which can be found at the back
the air conditioner and empty out the
water to a container.
• After draining off the water, replace the
drainage hose plug.
• Remove the dirt by scrubbing gently with
a cloth where the tank is positioned.
