Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ZAFRO Portable Air Conditioner. WARNING: Make sure to turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.

1. Air Filter Cleaning

The unit is equipped with removable and washable double-layer filters. It is highly recommended to clean the air filter every two weeks of operation to maintain efficiency and air quality.

  • Remove both grills from the back of the unit.
  • Rinse the air filter under running water.
  • Let the filter dry completely before re-attaching to the main unit.

2. Drainage

The unit features a self-evaporating system, reducing the need for frequent manual drainage. However, in high humidity environments or when using Dehumidifier mode, manual drainage may be required.

  • Manual Drainage: Unscrew the main drain outlet cap located at the bottom rear of the unit. Place a water container beneath the outlet to collect drained water.
  • Continuous Drainage: For continuous drainage, unscrew the main drain outlet cap and connect the included drain hose. Lead the other end of the hose into a drain lower than the unit. This is recommended for Dry Mode or environments with 85%+ humidity.
