Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the appliance
• For safety reasons, you should unplug
the appliance from the mains electricity
supply before cleaning.
• The appliance can be cleaned with a
cloth or sponge, slightly warm water and
a mild detergent.
• Never use hot water (more than 40ºC),
bleach, petrol, acid, scouring pads,
brushes or strong detergents. Prevent
water from entering the appliance.
• Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or compressed air.
• Do not insert any kind of implement into
the slits on the outdoor unit to clean the
inside.
Cleaning and changing the
purifying filters
Press the side tabs, (Fig. 30, 1.), on the
front flap of the appliance and pull it open
(it is not necessary to remove it), (Fig.
30, 2.). The flap is fitted with a stop and
can be opened up to this point without
risk of falling.

All models come with a basic filter which
needs to be cleaned regularly, Fig. 31. To
do this, press the tab on the top and
remove it from its housing, Fig. 32. Flush it
under a running tap, dry and replace.

Important!
Do not try to clean the basic filter in a
dishwasher. The plastic on the basic
filter is not suitable for dishwashers
and is unable to withstand the high
temperatures involved in washing
programmes. It will deform and may
even break.

The purifying filter supplied with the
appliance (except on models with
permanent hose) is to be fitted by the user
(See "Fitting the purifying filter").
The purifying filter purifies the air in
the room which passes through the
appliance. When the purifying filter is
fitted, the appliance's cooling capacity
may drop slightly. This is particularly
the case when the filter is saturated or
worn. It is, therefore, recommended
that you check and change the filter at
least once a year.
(These accessories are available for
purchase from the Manufacturer's Official
Technical Service and authorised
distributors). See "Description of
accessories".
Fitting the purifying filter
• Check that the purifying filter is fitted in
the positioner. If it is not, fit as shown in
Fig 33.
