Care and Maintenance

4.1

Safety Precautions

• Contact only qualified personnel for repair or maintenance. Im-
proper repair and maintenance may cause water leakage, electrical
shock, or fire, and may void your warranty.
• DO NOT substitute a blown fuse with a higher or lower amp rating
fuse, as this may cause circuit damage or an electrical fire.
• Ensure the drain hose is set up according to the instructions. Failure
to do so could cause leakage and result in personal property dam-
age, fire and electric shock.
• Ensure that all wires are connected properly. Failure to connect
wires according to instructions can result in electrical shock or fire.
4.2

Unit Maintenance

Before cleaning or maintenance
• Always turn off your air conditioning system and isolate the power
supply before cleaning or maintenance.
• DO NOT use chemicals or chemically treated cloths to clean the
unit.
• DO NOT use benzene, paint thinner, polishing powder or other
solvents to clean the unit. They can cause the plastic surface to
crack or deform.
• DO NOT wash the unit under running water. Doing so creates an
electrical hazard.
• DO NOT use water hotter than 40°C to clean the front panel. This
can cause the panel to become deformed or discoloured.
• Clean the unit using a damp, lint-free cloth and neutral detergent.
Dry the unit with a dry, lint-free cloth.

How to Clean the Air Filter

The filter prevents dust and other particles from entering the indoor
unit. Dust buildup can reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner.
For optimum efficiency, clean the air filter every two weeks or more
frequently if you live in a dusty area.
Replace the filter with a new one if too heavily clogged and cannot be
cleaned.
WARNING
Do not remove or clean the filter by yourself
Removing and cleaning the filter can be dangerous. Removal and
maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
NOTICE:
In households with animals, periodically wipe down the grille to prevent
animal hair blocking the airflow.
