Safety Instructions

To prevent injury or damage, observe the following precautions:

• Do not use a defective or underrated circuit breaker.

Auto Restart: In the event of a power failure, the unit will automatically resume operation with the previous settings once power is restored.

Maintenance and Service

Regular cleaning is required for optimal performance. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.

General Cleaning

• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the unit. Do not use bleach, abrasives, or volatile substances like benzene or thinner.
• Do not use water hotter than 40 °C as it may cause deformation.

Filter Cleaning

Procedures vary by model type (Ceiling Cassette, Wall Mounted, Console, etc.), but generally follow these steps:

1. Turn off the main power.
2. Remove the air filter according to the specific model instructions (usually by pulling a tab or pressing a hook).
3. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner or wash with lukewarm water and neutral detergent.
4. Dry the filter completely in the shade. Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat.
5. Reinstall the filter securely.

Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, check the following:

• Unit does not operate: Check timer settings, fuse, or circuit breaker.
• Peculiar odor: Check for damp smells in the room (walls, carpet, furniture).
• Condensation leaking: This is normal when the airflow cools warm room air.
• Noisy operation: Sounds like water flowing (freon) or compressed air releasing (dehumidifying water) are normal.
• Unit does not start immediately: The mechanism protector may be active; wait about three minutes.
