CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
We recommend cleaning the appliance with
a slightly damp cloth then drying with a dry
cloth. For safety reasons, do not wash the air
conditioner with water.
Precautions
Never clean with benzene, alcohol or sol-
vents. Never spray liquid insecticide or similar.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
Dust filter
All of the models are equipped with a dust fil-
ter able to capture the dust particles suspen-
ded in the air.
In order to maintain the effectiveness of your
air conditioner unaltered over time, remem-
ber to clean the dust filter every week.
1. Remove the aspiration grill
, (see fig. G);
2. Remove the filter holder housing by deta-
ching it from the external grill. To detach it,
press on the two wings found on the side of
the filter holder (see fig. H)

Purification filter
Clean the external side of the purification fil-
ter once a week. Use a vacuum cleaner at
an intermediate power level. Never clean
the inside of the filter. Replace the purification
filter at the end of each season or in any
case, when it is no longer effective. The puri-
fication filter can be purchased in the store as
an accessory or at an Authorised Service
Centre as a replacement part. Alternatively,
the dust filter included with the appliance
may be used in place of the purification filter.

once a month using the following method:
• turn off the appliance and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet.
• open the front panel and remove the
tank .
• remove the bung from the drainage hose
which can be found at the back the
air conditioner and empty out the water
to a container.
• after draining off the water, replace the
drainage hose plug.
• remove the dirt by scrubbing gently with a
cloth where the tank is positioned.
