The system retains its last settings in the event of a power outage, resuming operation with the previously selected mode and speed once power is restored.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your AIRCOM S6 unit.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan grilles and exterior surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Dust Removal: Use a can of compressed air to gently clear dust from the fan blades and internal components through the grilles. Ensure the unit is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Inspection: Regularly check the power cord and adapter for any signs of damage.
