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

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.

1. Turn off the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Locate the air filter on the side/back of the unit (refer to Figure 3).
3. Gently pull out the filter.
4. Wash the filter under running water (warm, not hot) or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Draining Condensed Water

While the unit has a self-evaporative system, manual drainage may be required, especially in high humidity or when operating in dehumidifier mode.

• Turn off and unplug the unit.
• Place a shallow pan or bucket under the drainage port (usually located at the bottom rear of the unit).
• Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
• Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.

General Cleaning
