3. Cooling Pad Care
- Cooling pads can accumulate dust and mineral deposits over time, reducing cooling efficiency.
- Refer to the specific instructions in your product manual for removing and reinstalling the cooling pads.
- Clean the pads by gently rinsing them under running water. For heavy deposits, a soft brush and mild detergent may be used. Ensure pads are thoroughly rinsed and free of soap residue.
