The air filters should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality. Dirty filters reduce efficiency and can damage the unit.
- Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
- Locate and remove the air filters (usually on the back or side of the unit).

- Place a shallow pan or tray under the drain port (usually at the bottom rear of the unit).
- Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
- For continuous drainage in dehumidification mode, attach the provided drain hose to the drain port.
6.3 Storage
When storing the unit for an extended period:
- Drain all water from the unit.
- Clean the air filters.
- Unplug the power cord and coil it neatly.
