CARE & MAINTENANCE
25. CLEANING THE INDOOR UNIT
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the indoor unit clean, if especially dirty, you may use a warm damp cloth.
Turn off the power before you perform any maintenance; otherwise it may cause electric shock.
Do not use water to clean the inside of the indoor unit. This can destroy insulation and cause
CAUTION
electrical shock.
DO NOT use chemicals or chemically treated cloths to clean the unit.
DO NOT use benzene, paint thinners, polishing powder or other solvents to clean the unit. They
can cause the plastic surface to crack or deform.
NEVER use water that is hotter than 40°C when you clean the front panel. It may cause deformation
or discolouration.
26. CLEANING THE OUTDOOR UNIT
The outdoor (condensing) unit draws air into the unit and dissipates it away from the appliance. Periodic inspection
is required to ensure vegetation has not grown around the unit (plants, weeds etc.).
The cabinet should be kept clean and have the recommended clearances maintained. Ensure the discharge air is
free to dissipate and under no circumstances recirculates back into the unit.
Ensure there is no water build up (including from condensate drain) on or around the unit.
Any unit repairs, maintenance and cleaning of the outdoor unit should be performed by an
authorised dealer or licensed service provider.
