The air filter behind the inlet grille should be washed at least every
two weeks or as often as it needs cleaning.

1. To remove the air filter, grasp tab on the filter and pull to the right.

2. Vacuum the filter on the dusty side to remove light dust.

3. Wash the filter, cleaner side up under gently flowing water to wash

out accumulated dust and lint.

4. If the filter is very dirty, use a mild household detergent in the wash

water.

Let the filter dry thoroughly before reinstalling it. When reinstalling the
filter, be sure word "FRONT" is facing you as you slide the filter back
into place.

Clean the front grille with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild
liquid dish-washing detergent.

Clean the cabinet with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water.

Wipe of 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 malfunction; benzene,thinner,scouring powder,
chemical soaked, cloths, etc.

After long-term usage of room air conditioners, dust and dist will
accumulate inside, lowering 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 (payable).
Please request your dealer to carry out these checks.
