Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan 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. A dirty filter can reduce cooling efficiency and airflow.
- Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
- Locate the air filter panel (usually on the back or side of the unit).
- Remove the filter.
- Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it gently with warm water and mild detergent.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit.
Draining Water:
The unit collects condensation during cooling and dehumidifying operations. It has an internal water tank that will trigger a 'Full Tank' indicator when full, at which point the unit will stop operating until drained.
- Manual Drainage: Place a shallow pan or tray under the drainage port at the bottom rear of the unit. Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out. Replace the plug once drained.
- Continuous Drainage (Dehumidifier Mode): For continuous dehumidification, attach a suitable drainage hose (not included) to the continuous drainage port. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage.
Storage:
If storing the unit for an extended period, especially during off-season:
- Drain all water from the unit.
- Clean the air filter.
- Run the unit in fan-only mode for a few hours to dry the interior.
- Unplug the power cord and coil it neatly.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
