Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Winado Mini Split system. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

• Ensure the power to the outdoor unit is completely disconnected.
• Carefully remove any visible debris from the coils and fan blades.
• Gently rinse the coils with a garden hose. Avoid using high-pressure washers.
• Ensure the area around the outdoor unit is clear of obstructions for proper airflow.
