8. Cleaning notes
Important!
Switch the device off and pull the mains plug each
time before cleaning.
Note!
The time intervals at which the device should be
cleaned are a factor of the area of installation. The
time intervals listed below should be maintained in
most cases.
Keep the outdoor device and the area around the
outdoor device clean. Regularly remove leaves, etc.
which can collect around the outdoor device.
Cleaning the housing of the indoor device
Clean the housing of the indoor device using only
a soft, wet cloth when necessary.
In order to avoid damaging the housing and
electronics, avoid the use of gasoline, thinners,
scouring powder, cleaners and the like when
cleaning.
Cleaning the air filters of the indoor device
Make sure that the air filters are clean! Soiled air
filters reduce the air output of the device. The air
filters of the indoor device should be checked and, if
necessary, cleaned on a monthly basis.
1. Pull on the recess at the right and left by the
panel and open. The opening angle is limited by
the lateral guides.
2. Carefully pull the panel up out of the brackets
and fold the brackets back down.
3. Now lift the panel a little and remove the air filters
below.
4. Carefully vacuum off the air filters or wash them
using a neutral soap solution. Note that the water
temperature must not exceed 45 °C, as the air
filters would then change in color and could
become distorted. Let the air filters dry in the
shade.
5. To reinstall the air filters in the indoor device, lift
the panel a little and reinsert.
6. Lower the panel back down until it latches into
the panel brackets on the inner housing. Close
the panel. Replace the air filters once annually.
Replacement air filters can be obtained from your
service partner.
Cleaning the heat exchanger of the indoor device
The heat exchanger must be cleaned at least once
annually. To do this, remove the air filters from the
indoor device as described above.
Using a vacuum cleaner or a long-bristled brush,
carefully remove any dirt deposits on the heat
exchanger; this will avoid damaging the heat
exchanger fins. A damaged heat exchanger will
lead to higher operating costs.
Take steps to ensure that you do not injure
yourself on the fin edges!
