6. Operation
6.1 Outdoor Unit Cleaning
- Prepare the Unit: Ensure the outdoor AC unit is powered off.
- Apply Chemical (Optional): If using a cleaning chemical, apply it evenly to the coils using an electric sprayer (available separately) or a manual sprayer. Allow the chemical to dwell as per manufacturer instructions.
- Select Pressure Mode: Use the pressure selection button on the machine to choose between low pressure (44–73 psi) for general cleaning or high pressure (102–145 psi) for stubborn grime.
- Clean Coils: Using the spray gun with the appropriate nozzle (e.g., 290° rotational nozzle for fins), spray water evenly across the coils. Maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging the fins. Work from top to bottom.

6.2 Indoor Unit Cleaning
- Power Off: Disconnect power to the indoor AC unit.
- Remove Cover and Filters: Carefully remove the front cover and air filters from the indoor unit. Clean the filters separately.
- Install Cleaning Cover (Optional): For mess-free cleaning, install a split A/C cleaning cover (e.g., WIPCOOL CSC-1, available separately) around the indoor unit to collect wastewater. Ensure the outlet hose of the cover is directed into a drain bucket.
- Apply Chemical (Optional): Spray cleaning chemical onto the indoor coils.
- Clean Coils: Using the spray gun with the extension wand and 290° rotational nozzle, carefully spray water onto the indoor coils. Use low pressure to prevent damage. Ensure all chemical residue is rinsed away.
- Reassemble: Once cleaning is complete and the coils are dry, remove the cleaning cover, reinstall filters and the front cover, and restore power to the unit.
