Unit Cleaning

Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning.

Seasonal Storage

If storing the unit for an extended period, clean the filter and unit thoroughly. Cover the unit to protect it from dust and store it in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer support, review the following common issues and solutions:

• Unit does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Verify the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the unit's power button is pressed.
• Unit is not cooling effectively: Check if the air filter is clean. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the air intake or exhaust. Verify the set temperature is lower than the room temperature. Close all windows and doors in the room.
• Unusual noise: A slight rattling or gurgling sound is normal due to refrigerant flow. If the noise is loud or unusual, ensure the unit is installed securely and not vibrating against the window frame.
• Water dripping inside: Ensure the unit is slightly tilted outwards to allow proper drainage of condensate. Check for blockages in the drain pan or hose.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
