5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air conditioner.
5.1 Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks or more frequently depending on usage. A dirty filter reduces efficiency and airflow.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.

- Wash the filter with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit.
5.2 Draining Water
During dehumidification mode, water will accumulate in the internal tank. The unit will stop operating when the tank is full. For continuous operation in dehumidification mode, connect a drainage hose to the continuous drainage port.
- Turn off and unplug the unit.
- Place a shallow pan or container under the drainage port.
- Remove the drain plug to allow water to flow out.
- Once drained, replace the drain plug securely.
5.3 Storage
When storing the unit for an extended period:
- Drain all accumulated water.
- Clean the air filter.
- Unplug the power cord and coil it neatly.
- Store the unit in a dry, upright position, preferably in its original packaging.
