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.
