Caution
Wipe off dirt with a soft, dry cloth (use a vacuum
cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet.) Use a
cloth and water less than 40°C to remove stubborn
dirt (the cloth should be well-wrung). Do not use
the following cleansers as they cause the paint to
peel and lead to malfunctions: Benzene, thinner,
scouring powder, chemical-soaked cloths, etc.
Annual check
* After long-term usage of room air conditioners, dust
and dirt will accumulate inside, towering the
performance. This may cause the generation of
odour or may impede the drainage of the dehumidifying
water.
* Besides regular cleaning of the air conditioner, a
separate annual check is also recommended
(chargeable). Please request your dealer to carry out
these checks.
