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

The air filter should be cleaned regularly (every two weeks or more often depending on usage) to maintain optimal performance and air quality.
- Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
- Locate and remove the air filter from the back of the unit.
- Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it gently with warm water and mild detergent.

Water Drainage:
During dehumidification or cooling in high humidity, water will accumulate inside the unit. The unit has a drainage tube for continuous drainage or can be manually drained when the internal tank is full.
- Continuous Drainage: Connect a drainage hose (not included) to the drainage port and direct it to a floor drain or a suitable container.
- Manual Drainage: When the "Full Water" indicator lights up, turn off the unit and place a shallow pan under the drainage port. Remove the drain plug to empty the water. Replace the plug securely after draining.
