- Make sure there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the indoor unit's receiver,
otherwise the signal will not reach the fan
coil.
- Keep the remote control away from liquids.
- Protect the remote control from high tem-
peratures and do not expose it to direct sun-

Important note - End of the device's service life:
• At the end of its service life, the device must
be taken to a sorting centre for electrical and
electronic equipment for recovery of fluids.
Do not dispose of the device with household
waste, but dispose of it in the collection cen-
tres provided, where it can be recycled. Check
your local collection service to find out about
existing waste collection centres.

5.2 HOUSEHOLD MAINTENANCE.
Note: before cleaning the fan coil, make sure it
is unplugged.
Note: make sure the wiring is not broken or
disconnected.
Note: clean the indoor unit and the remote con-
trol with a dry cloth.
Note: use a wet cloth on the indoor unit only to
remove heavy dirt.
Note: the front panel of the indoor unit can be
taken off and cleaned with water. Then dry with
a dry cloth.
Note: never use a wet cloth on the remote con-
trol.
Note: do not dry the unit with chemically treat-
ed cloths or leave them on it for a prolonged
period to avoid damaging or discolouring the
surface.
Note: do not use petrol, thinners, powder deter-
gents or other similar cleaning solvents as they
may break or deform the plastic surface.
• Maintenance after a long downtime
(e.g.: at the beginning of the season).
Check and remove any object that can block
the inlet and outlet vents of the indoor and
outdoor units.
Clean the filters and casings of the indoor
units.
See the "Cleaning the air filter" section for
more information and make sure the air fil-
ters are installed in the same position.
• Maintenance before a long downtime
(e.g.: at the beginning of the winter sea-
son).
To avoid the risk of breakage due to freezing,
it is advisable to drain the water from the
system at the beginning of the winter season.
• Maintenance before a long downtime
(e.g.: at the end of the season).
Leave the indoor units working with only the
fans running for approximately half a day to
dry all of the internal parts.
Clean the filters and casings of the indoor
units. See the "Cleaning the air filter" section
for more information and make sure the air
filters are installed in the same position.
Take the batteries out of the remote control.

• Cleaning the air filter and the clean air
grid.
The air filter can prevent the infiltration of
dust or other particles. If it is clogged, the
operating efficiency of the fan coil can reduce
significantly.
It is therefore necessary to clean the filter at
least once a fortnight during its period of use.
Clean the air filter frequently if the fan coil is
installed in a dusty environment.
If the accumulated dust is too much to be re-
moved, replace the filter (a replacement filter
is an optional accessory).
- Open the front panel and remove the air filter
and the clean air grid (Fig. 5-1).
- Clean the air filter.
The filter can be cleaned with a vacuum
cleaner or clean water. If the amount of accu-
mulated dust is excessive, use a soft bristled
brush and a mild detergent, then leave it to
dry in a cool place.
The air inlet side must face upwards when
using a vacuum cleaner.(Fig. 5-2).
The air inlet side must face downwards when
using water (Fig. 5-3).
- Remounting the air filter and the clean air
grid.
- Close the front panel.
Note: do not dry the air filter in direct sunlight
or near a fire.
Note: do not leave switched on without filter.
