Important Notes for Remote Control:
- The operating range is approx. 6 m.
- When ON/OFF button is pressed, the indoor device will emit an audio signal once or twice to indicate that the device has received the signal.
- If you do not hear a signal, press again.
- Handle the remote control with care (do not drop or leave it in a damp location).
- The remote control should not be installed on a wall in a way that the receiver on the indoor device can receive the remote control signal effectively.
- Change batteries immediately if the signal becomes weak or the indicator on the remote control becomes difficult to read. Both batteries should always be new and of the same make.
- If the remote control fails to work (empty batteries or malfunction), use the emergency switch. When the emergency switch is pressed, the function changes in the following sequence: Cooling -> Stop. For the first 30 minutes, the temperature adjustment does not yet function.
- Function: Cooling
- Set Temperature: 24°C
- Air Speed: Medium
- Air Flow Slats: Automatic
Maintenance Features
General Care:
- Always switch off the device and pull the power plug before cleaning.
- Clean the indoor device with a soft cloth only. Never use petrol, thinners, scouring powder, cleaners, etc., as these may cause damage to the device.
- Make sure that all inlets and outlets on the indoor and outdoor device are kept clear and are not covered or blocked.
Air Filter Cleaning:
- Clean the air filter and insert it back in the original position.
- Before cleaning, always pull out the power plug.
Care Precautions:
- If the air conditioner is not going to be used for some time:
- Let the fans run for 3 - 4 hours to allow the device to completely dry out. Set the highest possible temperature level while the fans are running.
- Switch off the device and pull the power plug.
