6. CLEANING AND CARE
6.1. CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (every two weeks)
Dust collects on the filter and restricts the airflow. The restricted airflow reduces the
efficiency of the system and if it becomes blocked it can cause damage to the unit.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The air filter is removable for easy cleaning.
Do not operate the unit without an air filter, or the evaporator may be contaminated.
1. Press POWER button to switch off the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the filter mesh from the unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck dust from the filter.
4. Turn the filter over and rinse the air filter under running water. Let the water run
through the filter in the opposite direction of air flow. Set aside and allow
the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.
Switch off the unit and remove the air filters.
Rinse the air filter under running water.
Warning!!!
Do not touch the evaporator surface with bare-hand, or could cause injury of your
fingers.
6.2.CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT
General Measures:
1. Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at
or below ground level.
2. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
4. Evacuate unnecessary personnel, isolate, and ventilate area.
5. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or gas.
6. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider the use of water spray
to disperse vapors.
8. Isolate the area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate and gas test area before
entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.
