Dust can be cleaned from the air ¿ lter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the ¿ lter in a solution of mild deter-
gent and warm water. If you wash the ¿ lter, be sure to allow
it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
●
If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air ¿ lter, airÀ ow will be
reduced, lowering operating ef¿ ciency and increasing noise.
●
During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be
cleaned every 2 weeks.
●
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.
●
When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 104 °F (40 °C), harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like
benzene or thinner.
●
Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
●
When shutting down the unit for 1 month or more, ¿ rst allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half day to al-
low internal parts to dry thoroughly.
