Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient performance of your air conditioner.

1. Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage and air quality. A dirty filter can reduce cooling efficiency and airflow.

1. Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
2. Locate and remove the air filter from the back or side of the unit (refer to the diagram in the Product Overview section if available).
3. Wash the filter under warm, running water with a mild detergent.
4. Rinse thoroughly and allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

2. Draining Water

During cooling and dehumidifying operations, water will accumulate inside the unit. The unit has an internal reservoir that will need to be drained periodically. If the reservoir becomes full, the unit may stop operating and display an error code.

1. Unplug the air conditioner.
2. Place a shallow pan or tray under the drain port located at the bottom rear of the unit.
3. Remove the drain plug/cap. Water will begin to flow out.
4. Once all water has drained, replace the drain plug/cap securely.
5. For continuous drainage in high humidity environments, connect the included drain hose to the drain port and direct it to a floor drain or suitable container.

3. Cleaning the Unit Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents, as these can damage the surface.

4. Storage

If storing the unit for an extended period:

1. Drain all accumulated water from the unit.
2. Clean the air filter.
3. Run the unit in Fan mode for a few hours to dry out the interior.
4. Unplug the power cord and wrap it neatly.
5. Store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
