● Dust can be cleaned from the air fi lter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the fi lter in a solution of mild detergent
and warm water. If you wash the fi lter, be sure to allow it to
dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air fi lter, air fl ow will be
reduced, lowering operating effi ciency and increasing noise.
● During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be cleaned
every two weeks.
● Do not operate the air conditioner with being opened the intake
grille.
● When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the unit be
inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service personnel.
● When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 40 °C, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like benzene or
thinner.
● Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
● When shutting down the unit for one month or more, fi rst allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half day to
allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.
CAUTION
● Before cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to turn it off and disconnect the Power Supply Cable.
● Before starting operation, make sure that the intake grille [Fig. 2] has been shut completely.
● Do not touch the aluminium fi ns of heat exchanger built-in the indoor unit to avoid personal injury when
you maintain the unit.
● Do not stand on slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces when you maintain the unit.
