When the outside temperature is warm for a long period of time, this heat will also be noticeable in the house. Furniture, bedding, curtains, carpets and the like can retain a lot of heat. As a result, the air conditioner may need longer to cool the room. Tips and recommendations To obtain the highest eciency from the air conditioner, observe the following recommendations:

• Close windows and doors in the room to be air conditioned. The only exception is installation through a hole in the wall. In this case, it is recommended to leave a door or window ajar to ensure ventilation.

• Do not use the device in rooms with high humidity (e.g. laundry rooms).

• Protect the room from direct sunlight by closing the curtains and/or partially closing the blinds, thus ensuring highly economical operation

• Do not use the device outdoors.

• Make sure there are no heat sources in the room.

• Make sure that the air conditioner is placed on a at oor.

• Do not place items on top of the air conditioner.

• Do not obstruct the air inlets.

• Do not obstruct the air outlet10 Always unplug the air conditioner from the mains before cleaning. To maximize the eciency of the air conditioner, clean regularly. Cleaning the body Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the body clean. Never use aggressive chemicals, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated cloths, or other cleansing solutions. These all could possibly hurt the casing material. Cleaning the lter If the air lter becomes clogged with dust or dirt then the air lter should be cleaned once every two weeks. The lter can be cleaned by opening the air inlet grill and remove the lter. Clean the air lter with neutral detergent in lukewarm water (max. 40℃) and let it dry. Place the air lter back into the air inlet and place back the grill.

Note: Never operate the unit without the lter. Tip: Clean the lter every 2 weeks. A clean lter improves the operation of the air conditioner! You can remove dust particles from the lter using a dry cloth or through careful use of a vacuum cleaner.11

• Drain any remaining water in the unit

• Operate the unit in ventilation mode only for a few hours to thoroughly dry the inside.

• Unplug and store the power cord.

• Clean or change the lter.

• Cover the device in a close carton or bag (not hotter than 40⁰C). Dry thoroughly before storing.

• Do not store the device in a room smaller than 15m² (DXMA22/26). This is due to the propane gas in the air conditioner. If it is stored in a space that is too small, this can cause a risk of explosion. Attention: Never use the air conditioner without a lter. This will lead to dust particles on the ribs which you will not be able to remove later.12
