MAINTENANCE

• 

Please pull out plug before cleaning.

Use soft semi-dry cloth to clean the machine. Don’t use chemical agents, such as benzene, alcohol, 

gasoline and so on. Otherwise the machine surface will be damaged, or even the machine itself.

• 

Don’t spatter water into the machine.

If the filter screen is clogged with 

dust, and the effectiveness of the air 

conditioning is reduced, be sure to clean 

the filter screen once every week of 

operation.

clip and pushing it outwards.

dust from the filter frame. If the frame 

is very dusty; place it in the warm 

water under 40°C or 104°F to which
