- Place a shallow pan or tray beneath the drain port and carefully remove the drain plug.
- Allow all accumulated water to drain completely.
- Once drained, replace the drain plug securely to prevent leaks.
5.3. Cleaning the Unit Exterior
- Wipe the exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the unit's finish.
