Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air conditioner.
5.1 Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned approximately twice a month, or more frequently depending on usage and air quality. A 'Filter Clean' indicator light on the control panel will illuminate as a reminder.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
- Locate the air filter on the back of the unit.
- Slide the filter out gently.

- Once the filter is reinserted, plug in the unit and press and hold the 'Filter Reset' button for 3 seconds to clear the indicator light.
5.2 Draining Water
During cooling and dehumidification, water collects inside the unit. The unit has a self-evaporative system, but in high humidity conditions, manual draining may be necessary. The unit will stop operating and display an error code (e.g., 'FL' for full tank) when the water tank is full.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
- Place a shallow pan or tray under the drain port located at the bottom rear of the unit.
- Remove the drain plug. Water will begin to flow out.
- Once all water has drained, replace the drain plug securely.
5.3 Storage
If the unit will not be used for an extended period:
- Drain all accumulated water from the unit.
- Clean the air filter.
- Run the unit in Fan mode for a few hours to dry the interior.
- Unplug the power cord and wrap it neatly.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably covered to protect from dust.
