The machine is set in the factory without correction of
the temperature.
In addition to the self-test (that can be made under any
conditions of room temperature) we recommend that you
also test the product in the various operating modes
accessible to the user (see the user section). One
important test you should make concerns regular
evacuation of condensation water on the models with heat
pump. To check this, keep the machine running for at
least 4-5 hours in heating mode). If the water does not
drain, there should be an “overflow” alarm.
2.5.1 Evacuation of condensation water in case of
emergency.
If there should be a malfunction in the condensation water
drain system, the air conditioner stops working and
signals, with flashing orange, green and red lights ( the
seconds and third LEDs from the left), the alarm status.
To enable the air conditioner to work temporarily until the
service personnel arrives, you can drain the water out by
following these simple instructions:
- Grasp the rubber cap on the bottom centre of the air
conditioner behind the edge of the frame facing the
wall between your thumb and forefinger.
- Pull the rubber tube closed by the cap out by a few
centimeters.
- Remove the cap after placing a bucket or other
container underneath it (at least five litre capacity) to
collect the water (see fig, 23).
- After eliminating the malfunction the service
personnel will take care of closing the evacuation
tube.
CHAP 2.6 Periodic maintenance
Air conditioners of this type do not require any particular
routine maintenance except:
- Cleaning or washing the room filter when the red
light comes on (see user section)
- Cleaning of air inlet radiator, to be done as needed,
depending on the amount of dirt in the external air,
once or twice per year. To do this, you must isolate
the unit and then remove the front casing and the
noise insulation on the inside.
- Cleaning can be done using a vacuum cleaner or soft
brush, taking particular care not to damage the
aluminum heat exchanger baffles. It may be
necessary to use a damp cloth and detergents to
remove any heavily encrusted dirt.
Note: After cleaning the unit replace the noise
insulation carefully matching the edges and gaskets
with their reference markings.
Before you leave the site of installation you should gather
up all packing material and use a damp cloth to remove
and traces of dust that may have been deposited on the
unit during assembly (fig, 24).
To prevent unnecessary calls by the user, before you
leave the site it is a good idea to:
- Explain the contents of the Instruction Manual to the
user.
- Show him/her how to clean the filter.
- Explain when and how he/she should contact the
Service Department.
