NOTE
Any unit repairs, maintenance and cleaning of the outdoor unit should be performed by an
authorised dealer or licensed service provider.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Maintenance - For Prolonged Periods of Non Use
If you plan not to use your air conditioner for an extended period of time, do the following.
•
Clean all filters
•
Turn ON Fan function until unit dries out completely
•
Turn off the unit and disconnect the power
•
Remove batteries from remote control.
MAINTENANCE - PRE-SEASON INSPECTION
After long periods of non-use, or before periods of frequent use, do the following:
•
Check for damaged wires
•
Clean all filters
•
Check for leaks
•
Replace batteries
•
Make sure nothing is blocking all air inlets and outlets of both the indoor or outdoor units.
CHECKING THE AIR FILTER
•
Filters are supplied and fitted by your installer and are not part of the Brivis system. A dirty air filter will cause
excessive strain on the compressor and fan blower motor. This can cause the compressor to overheat and
automatically shut down. In the extreme, the components will fail and will need to be replaced.
•
To avoid inefficient or failed operation of your unit, CHECK THE FILTER AT LEAST EVERY 2 TO 4 WEEKS.
•
Replace filters(s) when necessary, or clean them if they are the reusable type. Disposable filters should be
replaced by similar, new filters of the same grade and dimensions.
•
Reusable (permanent) type filters should be washed in a solution of cold to tepid water and very mild detergent,
then rinsed and thoroughly dried. THE FILTER MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE BEING REPLACED.
•
To avoid prolonged shut-down of your system while a filter is being cleaned, you may wish to have an extra
filter on hand. This would allow you to rotate between the two with minimal downtime for your comfort system.
Extra filters are available from your Installer or a Brivis Spare Parts outlets.
•
Should you have any questions about the removal and/or cleaning of you filter(s), please contact your Installer
for assistance.
•
If grass clippings, leaves, shrubbery and debris are kept away from the Outdoor Unit, minimal care should
be sufficient to keep the system functioning properly. However, if the outdoor coil becomes dirty, use a soft
brush or vacuum and soft brush attachment to clean the exterior surface. If dirt is trapped deep within the coil,
contact your Installer or Brivis for service.
UNIT SUPPORT
•
The Indoor Coil Unit (FCU) should be located in a position and in such a manner as specified in the
Installation Instructions. The FCU should be maintained at a position that ensures condensate drainage from
the unit. In an attic space, ideally the unit will be easily and safely accessible from the ceiling access panel,
have a suitable catwalk and platform, and if necessary a service light.
•
The Outdoor Condensing Unit (CDU) requires adequate support to ensure it is level.
