8. Safety
The Polar 7001 / Polar 9001 / Polar 12001 are fitted with an overheating safeguard
that switches the unit off if it overheats. If this should occur, you must remove the
plug from the socket and leave the equipment to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the cause of overheating - has the device been (partially) covered? Is it too
close to a wall or another obstacle, preventing it sucking in or dispelling sufficient air?
You can then use the device normally again but keep an eye on it for the first 30
minutes to ensure there are no further problems. If the device is showing signs of
problems or the overheating recurs, even though there is no obvious assignable
cause, ask your supplier or a recognised electrician to check/repair the unit.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
Note! Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the air conditioning unit,
always switch off and remove the plug from the socket! Regular cleaning is vital in
order to keep the unit in good working order!
9.1 Cleaning the housing
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the housing.
Never use aggressive cleaning products, petrol, detergent, chemically-impregnated
cloths or other cleaning solutions. These could damage the housing. Never spray the
unit and ensure that water never penetrates the device! Dry the unit with a soft cloth.
9.2 Cleaning the filter
Clean the filter once every two weeks; a unit with a dirty filter will never work
properly. The filter can be found behind the air inlet grilles on the side. You can easily
open these grilles and remove the filter. Use a vacuum cleaner or gently beat the
filter to remove loose dust and dirt. Rinse the filter with tepid water (not hotter than
40°C) with a mild, neutral cleaning product. Let the filter dry thoroughly in the shade
before replacing in the unit. Take care! Never use the air conditioning unit without the
filter!
9.3 End of season cleaning
If the device is to be stored for a long period, you must take the following measures!
Remove the condensed water. Run the unit for a few hours on fan function so that
the unit is completely dry inside.
Then switch the air conditioning unit off and remove the plug from the socket.
Clean the filter and reposition them or replace with a new one.
Unscrew the waste pipe from the device in order to prevent damage.
Pack the air conditioning unit in its original packaging or in a plastic bag and place
in a dry place for storage. Place a heavy object on the unit.
Store the device in a room smaller than 4m²(Polar 7001)/7,7 m²(Polar 9001)/10,3
m²(Polar 12001).
