CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning the Air Filter
l Before cleaning the unit, be sure to stop the unit and turn off the electrical breaker.
l A fan operates at high speed inside the unit, and personal injury could result.
l When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the
unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service
personnel.
l When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 40 °C, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like benzene
or thinner.
l Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
l If the unit will not be operated for a period of one month or more, be sure to allow the inner parts of the unit to dry
thoroughly, in advance, by operating the unit in fan mode for half a day.
l Remove the dust from the air fi lters by vacuuming or washing them. After washing, allow the air fi lters to dry thoroughly
in an area protected from sunlight.
l Dust can be cleaned from the air fi lter either with a vacuum cleaner, or by washing the fi lter in a solution of mild detergent
and warm water. If you wash the fi lter, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
l If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air fi lter, air fl ow will be reduced, lowering operating effi ciency and increasing
noise.
