Maintenance and Cleaning
CAUTION: Before performing any maintenance, turn off the main power to the system.
Cleaning the indoor unit:
Note: Turn the system off before cleaning. Supply power must be disconnected before
cleaning the indoor unit.
1. Use a dry cloth to wipe the indoor unit and remote controller.
2. A cloth dampened with cold water may be used on the indoor unit if it is very dirty.
3. Do not splash water on unit. This may cause damage to the inner parts or an electric shock.
CAUTION:
1. Do not use a chemical-treated duster for wiping or leave such material on the unit for long.
2. Do not use benzene, thinner, polishing powder, or similar solvents for cleaning.
These may cause the plastic surface to crack or deform.
Cleaning the air outlet:
After using for a period, the air outlet and louvers will become dirty. It is recommended to dip a soft
cloth into warm water or a mild kitchen cleanser, ring it out, and then wipe any soiling from the unit.
After, wipe with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the Air inlet grille and Air Filter:
If the air filter becomes clogged, the performance will decrease and electricity will be wasted. The air
filter should be checked and cleaned about once every 2 weeks to maintain optimal performance of
the air conditioner.
