• Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.

• The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms where the humidity is higher

than 85% RH

Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills. Do not operate and follow

troubleshoot procedure if the self-opening louvers do not open on power on.

• For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 20 cm

• Keep the filters or grills of the unit clean. Under normal conditions, filters or grills should

only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately).

Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary,

depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry

them before placing them back in the unit.
