MAINTENANCE
For your protection, ALWAYS disconnect the unit from the mains supply whenever carrying out
maintenance or routine servicing.
1. CLEANING
• Use only a soft damp cloth with a MILD, diluted cleansing agent. DO NOT use solvents or
other chemical agents as this will cause irreparable damage.
• Dust may be removed from the front grille with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
• To clean the water receptacle, wash in warm water with a mild detergent, dry and replace
correctly.
• Periodically check the condition of the air filter located on the side of the unit, and which is
shown in fig. 2 on page 3. Pull open the door using the tab provided, and the filter will be
seen attached to the door, held by plastic hooks.
If necessary, carefully pull off the filter and wash it gently in warm water (40
o
C) with a neutral
detergent. Allow it to dry before replacing it again over the door hooks.
IMPORTANT: The filter should be replaced every two or three washes. See your CLARKE dealer.
• Whilst the filter door is open, inspect the cooling fins of the evaporator. VERY CAREFULLY
remove any dust that may be present using the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner,
taking great care not to press down on to the fins or damage them in any way. NEVER use a
hard brush or any object likely to damage the fins.
2. STORAGE
If you intend to store the unit for a considerable period of time, you should ensure the water
receptacle is empty and dry.
Additionally, within the water receptacle compartment, is a plastic hose, on the end of which is
a rubber bung. Remove the rubber bung to drain the water, within the hose, into a suitable
container, then replace the bung fully.
NOTE:
DO NOT remove the rubber bung at any other time, as water collected within the plastic hose is
used for cooling component parts.
Once this procedure is completed, run the unit in FAN mode ONLY for at least three hours, before
storing the unit, preferably wrapped in polythene.
