with water.
CLEANING THE UNIT
Clean your air-conditioner with a damp cloth and
then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Precautions:
Never use gasoline, alcohol or solvents to clean
this appliance. Never spray it with insecticide or
similar liquids, because the paint might then peel
off and the plastic portions might lose their true
shape.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
• If the air filter gets dirty, it will be difficult for the
air to circulate and the air-conditioner will lose
much of its efficiency, thus leading to about an
8% increase in electrical consumption. For this
reason, it is a good idea to clean the filter
• Remove the air filter as shown below.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust on
the filter. If the filter is very dirty, dip it in warm
water (of less than 40° C.) and rinse it several
times. After having washed the filter, let it dry
completely before putting it back in place.
