Setting up your portable air conditioner is straightforward. Follow these steps for optimal performance:

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your air conditioner.

• Cleaning the Air Filter: The air filter should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every two weeks) to prevent dust buildup, which can reduce efficiency. Remove the filter, wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinserting.
• Draining Water: In dehumidification mode or high humidity conditions, the internal water tank may fill up. The unit will indicate when the tank is full (e.g., with a 'FULL' indicator) and stop operation. Drain the water using the provided drainage tube or by carefully moving the unit to a drain point.
• Cleaning the Unit Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure it is completely drained of water, cleaned, and stored in a dry, upright position.
