CLEANING THE CABINET
You should clean the appliance with a slightly
damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
For safety reasons, never wash the air condi-
tioning unit with water.
Precautions
Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean
the appliance.
Never spray insecticide liquids or similar.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
To keep your air conditioning unit working effi-
ciently, you should clean the dust filter every
week of operation.
The filter is housed in the intake grille.
When removing the evaporator air intake
grille (7), do not touch the evaporator’s
metallic wings because they are very sharp
and could be dangerous.
To clean the filters, proceed as follows
1. Remove the intake grille by rotating
outwards (Fig. L).
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust
collected on the filter.
If the dust filter is very dirty, immerse in warm
water and rinse a number of times.
The water should never be hotter than 105 °F
(40°C).
After washing, leave the filter to dry.
To replace, put the filters back in the intake
grille then attach the intake grille to the
appliance.
Do not wash the 3M® ectrostatic filter when it
is worn-out: change it with a new filter.
START OF SEASON CHECKS
Make sure the power cord and plug are
undamaged and properly grounded.
Follow the installation instructions precisely.
END OF SEASON OPERATIONS
Place the appliance in stand-by.
To completely empty the internal circuit of
water, press the MODE and SPEED buttons
simultaneously for a few seconds without
removing the condensation tank (8).
2. Remove the dust filter by detaching it from
the grille (Fig. M). Remove 3M® electrosta-
tic filter if it is mounted.

Make sure the other end of the hose is near a
suitable drain.
When completely drained, disconnect the
continuous drain hose.
Clean the filters and dry thoroughly before
putting them back.
