AIR FILTER

This airconditioner is equipped with a 3-layer filter to purify the air circulated by the indoor unit. The airconditioners are supplied with a separately packaged 3M^T FiltreteTM filter and active carbon filter. These filters must be placed in accordance with the instructions before the airconditioner is used.

1 Wire mesh filter to remove coarse dust particles.
2 3M^TM Filtrete™ filter to remove particles from the air that are detrimental to your health, such as pollen, bacteria, flakes of animal skin and dust.
3 Active carbon filter to remove odours.

The mesh filter is part of the filter holder. The filter holder can be opened. The activated carbon filter and the 3M^TM Filtrete™ filter can be removed.

1 The mesh filter must be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner in order to prevent blockage of the air flow.
We recommend replacing the positively/negatively electrostatically charged 3M^TM Filtrete™ filter every three months.

3 If it has become dusty, the activated carbon filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, but it must be replaced simultaneously with the 3M^TM FiltreteTM filter.

Excessive dust, construction work, pets, the presence of smoke and frequent use of the device affect the lifespan of the 3M^TM Filtrete™ filter. A signal is given after approximately 650 hours of operation in order to prevent you from forgetting to replace the filter: The light in the button on the front of the device is blinking. Take the following action:

1 Switch the unit off, but leave the mains cable in the socket.
2 Replace the old filters with new, original filters that are available from your dealer;

• Remove the filter holder ⑤ from the airconditioner
• Open the filter holder ⑤, take the filter clamp ⑥ off the filter holder and remove the old filters. Place the new activated carbon filter (black) and 3M^TM Filtrete™ filter (white) in the filter holder ⑤.
• Fit the filter clamp ⑥ back onto the holder.
• Put the filter holder ⑤ back into the airconditioner.

Press the on/off button on the front of the device until you hear a beep (after approximately 4 seconds).

5 The old filters can be disposed in the non-biological garbage container.

NOTES!

• Never use the airconditioner without the mesh filter!
• To run the unit without active carbon filter and/or 3M^TM Filtrete™ filter does not bring any harm to the air conditioner. In that case odours and unhealthy dust are not removed from the circulated air.
• Filter packages are available at your dealer.
• Only use suitable Zibro filters. This will prevent any damage to your airconditioner. Using other than the original filters is entirely at the risk of the consumer. This may have a negative effect on the operation of the device and may result in damage. The device may also leak water subsequent to the formation of ice.

E AIR FLOW

You can change the direction of the air flow by adjusting the positions of the horizontal and vertical louvers.

F DRAINAGE

Under normal conditions the condensation water is pumped to the outdoor unit through the connection tube. When the water flow is blocked or the position of the outdoor unit is too high, water may accumulate in the indoor water container of the unit.

When the internal water container is full, the transparent ring around the button on the front of the device ② flashes RED. The unit will switch off automatically. To empty the water container, take the following action:

1 Do not move the unit. Drastic movements can cause water leakage.
2 Switch off the unit and remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Place a pan or appropriate tray on the floor underneath the water drain tube.
4 Remove the rubber plug 5 from the drain tube 1 and let the water run out (± 0.5 litre).
5 Replace the rubber plug ⑤, put the plug into the wall outlet, and switch on the unit. The warning light should be off.

NOTE!

When the air conditioner is in use, under normal circumstances the condensed water will be discharged through the outdoor unit 21.
