• Wash the filters with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
• Allow the filters to dry completely in a shaded area before reinserting them. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

General Cleaning:

• Wipe the indoor and outdoor units with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent, then wipe dry.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents.

Seasonal Maintenance:

• Before the cooling season, ensure the outdoor unit's coils are free from debris (leaves, dirt).
• Consider professional servicing annually to check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and overall system health.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting service, check the following common issues:

• Unit does not turn ON: Check if the power plug is securely inserted and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Insufficient Cooling: Ensure doors and windows are closed. Check if the air filters are clean. Verify the temperature setting is appropriate.
• Unusual Noise: A slight gurgling sound is normal due to refrigerant flow. If the noise is loud or unusual, turn off the unit and contact service.
