MAINTENANCE AND SUGGESTIONS FOR USE

Any repairs or operations to top up and recuperate coolant must be carried out by authorised Autoclima
workshops and by qualified personnel.
After about 20 hours of operation, from the conditioner installation, carry out a general inspection, particularly
check that the screws and bolts, are tightened.
The correct operation of the conditioning unit depends on regular maintenance.
If the air-conditioner is used in very dusty environments, upkeep the system more frequently.
It is advisable to keep the vehicle doors and windows closed while the conditioning system is running.
Before removing the cover of the conditioner to carry out maintenance and cleaning operations, disconnect the
vehicle battery.
When cleaning the system, protect the electric components.
If any electric components need replacing, you can access them easily by removing the outside cover of the air
conditioner system.
Avoid leaving the conditioning unit inactive for long periods of time, activating it for at least half an hour once a
month, even during the winter, as operation guarantees the lubrication of certain components which tend to dry
out if left idle for too long.
Check the condenser coil regularly and, if necessary, clean it using compressed air, taking care not to damage
the aluminium fins.
Insects, fluff and other foreign bodies may be deposited on the fins, leading to a reduction in the effectiveness of
the heat exchanger.
When working near the heat exchangers, pay attention not to cut yourself with the sharp ends of the fins.
At the same time, inspect the working of the condenser electric fan.
Consider that the cleaning of the condenser and the inspection of the right ventilation are very important operations.
As a matter of fact, a very dirty or non-ventilated condenser, reduces the conditioning system performances and
shorters the compressor duration, up to the break of the compressor.
Periodically check that water condensation discharge pipes located at the base of the cooling unit are not blocked.
