MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS (AC)
Wear required appropriate equipment
such as protective goggle and filter mask
when using compressed air, as metal
fragments or other objects can fly and
cause serious injury.
Clean the filters immediately after operating
in dusty places.
If the filters are clogged, the air flow is
reduced and a booming sound is heard from
the air conditioner unit.

Cleaning

very dirty. Dry the filter completely after
washing it.

Replace the filter with a new one once a year
or if it is still clogged after blow-drying with
