service faults, damage to equipment, poor performance and excess power consumption. Your filter should
be cleaned at the beginning of summer and winter, if the system is used regularly or in a location where dirt
may easily accumulate, clean the filter/s more frequently. Once every 2 to 4 weeks is recommended.

cleaning, please consult your dealer on what type of filter and grille is installed, how and when to clean
them.
Outdoor Unit

dirt, vegetation, paper, rubbish, plastic, etc…) that may restrict the airflow. Check that there are no plants
or foreign objects blocking the fan outlet from the unit. Inspect and listen for excessive and unusual fan
motor noises. Check the paintwork for scratches and signs of corrosion, apply touch up or anti-corrosion
paint as necessary.

should be checked and cleaned routinely (bi-annually recommended). For systems with heavy usage this
should be checked more frequently. Fans and coils should also be checked for build up of dirt / foreign and
