Maintenance
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter is washable and easily removable. Regular cleaning of the air filter is crucial for maintaining the unit's efficiency and air quality. It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks, or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Locate and remove the air filter according to the diagrams in the full manual.
- Wash the filter gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat.
Condensation Management
The unit features automatic condensation, which means most of the collected moisture is evaporated and expelled with the hot air. However, in very humid conditions, the internal water tank may fill. Refer to the full product manual for instructions on how to drain the unit if the water tank indicator illuminates.
