6. CLEANING AND CARE
6.1 CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (every two weeks)
Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the efficiency of
the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. Do not operate
the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.
1. Press POWER buon to switch off the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the filter mesh from the unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck dust from the filter.
4. Turn the filter over and rinse the air filter under running water. Let the water run through the
filter in the opposite direcon of air flow. Set aside and allow the filter to air dry completely
before reinstalling.
Switch off the unit and remove the two air filters.
Rinse the air filter under running water.
Warning!!!
Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare-hand, or could cause injury of your fingers.
