5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air conditioner.
Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned regularly, typically every two weeks, or more often depending on usage and air quality. To clean, gently slide out the filter from the front panel. Wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not operate the unit without the filter.
General Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the drainage area is clear of debris.
6. Troubleshooting
If your air conditioner is not operating correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions before contacting customer support.
- Unit does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped.
- Unit is not cooling effectively: Verify that the temperature setting is lower than the room temperature. Check if the air filter is clean and not obstructed. Ensure windows and doors are closed to prevent warm air from entering.
- Unusual noise: Some operational noises are normal (e.g., fan sound, refrigerant flow). If the noise is excessive or unusual, ensure the unit is securely installed and not vibrating against the window frame.
- Short-cycling (unit turns on and off frequently): This can sometimes be caused by the thermistor (temperature sensor) being too close to the cold coils, causing it to prematurely register the desired temperature. Ensure the thermistor is positioned correctly according to the installation guide to allow for accurate room temperature readings.
