BEFORE USE

Inspect the product including its cable and plug for any signs of damage. If the product is damaged, DO NOT use it, and contact your supplier immediately.

INSTALLATION

Transport and store in an upright position. Leave the appliance in an upright position for at least 3 hours before first use.

Select a location for the internal unit - it should be close to a door or opening window to allow the exterior unit to be placed outside, but not too close to a wall to avoid obstructing the air flow. Allow 300mm (8") around the appliance on all sides, to achieve optimum efficiency and lowest operating noise.

Pass the external unit through the open door or window, and then close the door or window to the minimum gap that will allow the flexible hose through.

If the appliance is to be used frequently in the same location, then the bracket can be attached to the exterior wall, and the external appliance can be hung on the bracket. See installation diagram below.

The internal and external units must remain connected by the flexible hose at all times. The flexible hose may only be disconnected by persons with the necessary qualifications under the "F Gas Regulations".

MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, turn the appliance off using the button on the control panel (NEVER switch off the power at the mains socket whilst the appliance is running). Wait until the appliance stop and then disconnect from the mains supply. The case may then be cleaned using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid to remove any dust or dirt from the case. Do no use stronger detergents or solvents as these may damage the plastic.

Using a dry 1'' (25 mm) paint-brush, remove any dust from the grilles.

Every two weeks, clean the air filter; the filter is located at the back of the appliance towards the top. Remove the filter, and wash with hand-hot water with a drop of detergent. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Using the EH1413 with a blocked filter will severely reduce its efficiency, and using without the filter may lead to a build-up of a dust on the heat exchangers, which may constitute a fire hazard.

If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service centre. If the mains plug needs to be replaced, proceed as follows:

positioned correctly (over the outer sheath of the cable) and it fully tightened.
