4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your electrostatic filters is crucial for optimal air quality and the longevity of your air conditioning unit.

• Cleaning Frequency: It is recommended to inspect and clean the filters every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if the air conditioner is used heavily or in dusty environments.
• Cleaning Procedure:
  1. Turn off and unplug the air conditioner.
  2. Remove the filters as described in the installation section.
  3. Gently vacuum the filters to remove loose dust and debris.
  4. For a deeper clean, rinse the filters under cool, running water. Use a mild detergent if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
  5. Allow the filters to air dry completely before reinserting them into the unit. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or heat sources.
