7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the efficiency and longevity of your air conditioner.
7.1 Cleaning the Air Filter
- The unit is equipped with a standard filter.
- Clean the air filter every two weeks or more frequently if the unit is used in a dusty environment.
- To clean, remove the filter from the back of the unit.
- Wash the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
7.2 Draining Condensed Water
- In Cool mode, the unit utilizes self-evaporation technology, which atomizes condensed water and expels it with the exhaust air. This minimizes the need for manual drainage.
- In Dehumidify mode, or if the humidity is very high, the internal water tank may fill up. When the tank is full, the unit will stop operating and an indicator light may illuminate.
- To drain, turn off the unit and unplug it.
- Locate the drain port at the bottom rear of the unit.
- Place a shallow pan or tray beneath the drain port. Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
- Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.
- For continuous drainage in Dehumidify mode, connect the provided drainage pipe to the drain port and direct it to a floor drain or a larger container.
7.3 Storage
- Before storing, ensure all water is drained from the unit.
- Clean the air filter.
- Unplug the power cord and coil it neatly.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
