3. SIMPLE MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
- Unplug the appliance or switch off the dedicated switch be-
fore performing any operations (risk of personal injury from
electrocution).
- Do not touch the air conditioning unit with wet hands (risk of
personal injury from electrocution).
- When cleaning the appliance, do not climb onto a table or
unstable chair (risk of personal injury due to falling from a
height).
- When removing filters, take care not to touch any metal
parts, especially the heat exchanger inside the internal unit
(risk of personal injury from cuts).

3.1 Cleaning the filters

Cleaning the filters regularly is essential for optimal performance
of the air conditioning unit. For domestic settings, we recommend that
filters be cleaned fortnightly. The need to clean the air filters or replace
the special filters is however indicated on the display, on the basis of the
hours that the air conditioning unit has operated.
Dust filters
Open the front panel by pushing it upwards at the "grooves" on
the sides (fig. 1).
Remove the filters by pulling them gently downwards (fig. 2).
Clean them using a vacuum cleaner or wash them in lukewarm
water and neutral detergent. Make sure you dry them thoroughly
before replacing them. Do not leave them exposed to sunlight. Do
not operate the air conditioning unit without the air filters.
Air treatment filters
Open the front panel and remove the dust filters as described
above. Remove the air treatment filters from their seat as illus-
trated in fig. 3.
- Platinum filter
These filters must be replaced once they are no longer capable
of performing their task (approx. 24 months).
- Aromatherapy
The filter uses the air flow passing through the air conditioning
unit to diffuse the desired fragrance within the room. To add
the fragrance, remove the filter as described above; pour the
desired amount of scent onto each end of the filter and at its
centre; position the filter back in its seat.
The ideal amount of scent depends on the type of fragrance
used and individual user preferences: we recommend starting
with small amounts (e.g. 5 ml).
Note: use essential oils specifically designed as room fragrances.

3.2 Cleaning the air conditioning unit

Clean the Internal Unit and remote control, if necessary, using a
cloth moistened with lukewarm water (no hotter than 40°C) and
mild soap; do not use solvents or aggressive detergents, insecti-
cides or spray cleaners (risk of damaging or corroding the plastic
parts of the appliance).
Take extra care when cleaning the front panel, as it is very easy
to scratch.
If the External Unit battery is clogged up, remove all leaves and
deposits and then wash off all dust with a water jet or some water.
