Before commencing any servicing operation, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the electrical power supply.
Dismantling and assembly are special maintenance operations and must be entrusted to professional technicians.
Filters
Recommended maintenance intervals:
because levels of air pollution depend typically on geographical location and are variable, the life of the filters will be
similarly variable. With this general consideration in mind, the following filter maintenance intervals are recommended:
Inspect filters: every 50/60 days; replacement of filters: after 3/24 months (depending on the value set by the installer) a
pre-alarm message will appear on the display to remind the user of the need for the filters to be replaced. The filters must
be replaced within 2 months after this message appears; at the end of the 2 months, the filters clogged alarm (Filt) will be
activated. When the error is reset (as described in "View alarm menu" paragraph), the counter will also be reset.
N.B. Failure to clean or replace filters can seriously affect system efficiency, causing: - increased pressure losses in the air
circulation system and reduced airflow; - drop in system performance and comfort levels caused by pressure losses. N.B.
Clogged air filters are the most frequent cause of the appliance locking up: (Filt)
