6. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Avalla S-360.
6.1 Cleaning the Air Filter
The S-360 is equipped with a washable air filter. Clean the filter regularly (e.g., every two weeks, or more often if used frequently) to maintain peak performance and air quality. To clean, remove the filter, rinse it under running water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
6.2 Draining the Water Tank
In dehumidifier mode, or if the unit is used for extended periods in high humidity, the internal water tank may fill. The unit will typically indicate when the tank is full and stop operation. Drain the water by removing the drain plug and allowing the water to flow into a suitable container. For continuous operation, utilize the continuous drainage feature as described in Section 4.3.

6.3 Storage
Before storing the unit for an extended period, ensure the water tank is completely drained and the air filter is clean and dry. Store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably covered to protect it from dust.
