Routine Maintenance
The air filter must be kept clean, never allow to become choked with dust or dirt.
If allowed to do so, the performance of the unit will become impaired, resulting in
loss of air flow, freezing up the evaporator coil and possible component damage.
To access the filter, lift out the return air grille on the front face of the unit (fig. 4). On
refitting the filter ensure that it is correctly positioned covering the whole face of the grille.
The filter (see fig. 4) can be washed in warm, soapy water, rinsed and shaken dry
before replacement. Frequency of cleaning depends upon application and can
