Cleaning and Maintaining the Air Conditioner
It is important to clean the air conditioner regularly to make the device serve better and longer. Cleaning is also vital for human health and the quality of the air people breathe at home.
Cleaning the exterior
Wipe the surface of the unit with a slightly wet or dry cloth when needed (we recommend to do it once a week).
Warnings: Do not use such liquids as: benzene, Clorox. They may damage the surface of the air conditioner and can create risk of fire.
Cleaning the filter
When cleaning the filter, make sure to unplug the power from the unit. No special tools are needed to clean it.
Air filter: washable foam based air filter captures large particles from the air. The filter is cleaned with a vacuum or by hand washing.
First you should open the front panel. Tightly grab front side of the front panel and lift up the panel to open. Then slightly push the panel up until the panel is hanged over the special hooks of the unit.
Secondly grab the handle and lift up, pull the air filter towards you and slide it down.
Then clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush. If dust is too heavy, then rinse it with running water and dry it in a ventilated area.
For the best results, repeat every two weeks. If the air filter dries in a confined or humid area, odors may generate. If it occurs, reclean and dry it in a well-ventilated area.
Insert the air filter back in its origin position and close the front panel.
