Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your unit.

1. Cleaning the Air Filter

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.

1. Unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet.
2. Locate the air filter panel (usually on the back or side of the unit).
3. Remove the filter by gently pulling it out.
4. Wash the filter under running water (warm, soapy water if very dirty).
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
6. Reinsert the dry filter back into the unit.

2. Draining Condensed Water

The unit has an internal water collection tank. When the tank is full, the unit will stop operating and display an error code (e.g., "FL").

• Manual Drainage: Place a shallow pan or tray under the lower drainage hole. Remove the rubber stopper to allow water to drain. Replace the stopper once drainage is complete.
• Continuous Drainage (Dehumidifier Mode): Attach the provided water pipe to the continuous drainage port (usually the lower drainage hole). Route the pipe to a floor drain or a larger container.

3. Storage

If storing the unit for an extended period:

• Drain all condensed water completely.
• Clean the air filter.
• Run the unit in Fan mode for a few hours to dry the internal components.
