Shutting Down the Unit
To shut down the unit, always switch it off with the
Power button on the control panel or via the remote
control. Only now can you unplug it from the power sup-
ply. Never shut the running unit off by pulling the power
plug.
Storage
If the unit is to be taken out of operation for a longer pe-
riod of time, for example, over the winter, proceed as
follows:
1. Let the device run for approximately 2 hours in circu-
lation mode (FAN) to dry the surface of the evapora-
tor plate fins.
This removes the remaining moisture from the unit
and prevents unpleasant odours when the device is
put back into operation.
2. Switch off the unit by pressing the “Power” button,
unplug the unit from the power supply and roll up the
power cord.
3. Make sure that the cable is not bent and that there
are no kinks.
The cable can be attached to the back of the unit.
4. Place a suitable container under the condensation
drain of the internal tank.
The condensation drain is located at the bottom left
at the back of the unit.
5. Pull the plug from the condensation drain and collect
the water that drains out.
6. Then replace the plug.
Keep in mind that if there is no plug or it is inserted in-
correctly, water may leak out after the unit has re-
sumed operation
.
7. Store the unit in an upright position in a dry location
that is protected from direct sunlight and dust.
8. To prevent dust from getting inside the unit, protect it
with, for example, a plastic cover.
Cleaning the plastic housing:
For cleaning, use only a clean, soft and slightly moist
towel to carefully wipe the housing.
Please observe the following:
◊ Never use chemical cleaners or polish to clean the
unit.
These can damage the surface.
◊ Only use lukewarm water.
Maximum 40 °C warm.
◊ Make sure that no moisture gets into the unit. Never
spray water or other fluids into the unit.
This can damage the electrical components.
◊ Never clean the unit under a stream of water.
◊ Thoroughly clean the air intake and outlet openings
on a regular basis.
This is where the most dirt accumulates in the short-
est period of time.
Maintenance and Service
Regular maintenance and observance of some basic
principles are required to ensure a long service life and
to keep the unit functioning properly.
However, the unit should be inspected at least once a
year and thoroughly cleaned after long periods of use.
The entire cooling system is a low-maintenance, closed-
loop system and may only be serviced by authorised
service centres.
*
Before performing any work on the unit, make sure
to switch the unit off and unplug the power cord.
*
Never operate the unit without the air filter. The air
filter prevents the condenser from becoming dirty
and the performance of the unit from being ad-
versely affected.
Cleaning the Filter
The unit is equipped with an air intake filter. It can be
removed from the back of the unit. The filter must be
cleaned at regular intervals. Clean air filters after no
longer than 100 hours of operation. If the air is heavily
contaminated, reduce this time period accordingly.
1. Switch the unit off with the On/
Off button on the control panel
or the infrared remote control.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove the filter from the unit.
4. Clean the dust that has accumu-
lated from the filter.
You can use a vacuum cleaner.
5. If the dust filter is very dirty,
wash it with a lukewarm soap
solution.
6. Let the filter air dry.
7. Replace the filter in the unit.
8. Make sure that the filter is dry
and undamaged.
