6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air conditioner.

6.1 Air Filter Cleaning

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.

Unplug the unit from the power outlet.
Locate the air filter panel (usually on the back or side of the unit).
Remove the filter by sliding it out.
Wash the filter under running water (warm, soapy water if very dirty).
Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not use a dryer or direct sunlight.

6.2 Water Drainage

This unit features automatic water evaporation, which typically eliminates the need for manual drainage. However, in high humidity conditions, the internal water tank may fill up. If the unit stops operating and displays a 'Full Tank' indicator, manual drainage is required.

Unplug the unit from the power outlet.
Place a shallow pan or tray under the drainage port (located at the bottom rear of the unit).
Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
Once all water has drained, replace the drain plug securely.
