Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Garvee portable air conditioner.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The unit features a removable and washable mesh filter. It is recommended to clean the filter every two weeks, or more frequently depending on usage and air quality.
- Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Remove the filter from its housing.
- Wash the filter under running water with a mild detergent.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling.
Water Drainage
The unit has a self-evaporating function that handles most condensation during cooling. However, in areas with high humidity, or when using the dehumidifying mode, manual drainage may be required.
- Connect the included drainage hose to the drainage port at the back of the unit.
- Direct the hose to a suitable drain or collection bucket.
- The unit will alert you and stop operation if the water tank becomes full and requires draining.
