Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Filters Often: Remove and wash the washable air filters every 2–4 weeks (or monthly) depending on dust levels to maintain strong airflow and cooling/heating efficiency. Let them fully dry before reinstalling.
-
Dust Grille & Louvers: Wipe the unit’s front panel, grille, and louvers with a soft, dry cloth regularly to prevent dust buildup that can restrict airflow.
-
Keep Airflow Unobstructed: Ensure furniture, curtains, or décor don’t block the intake and discharge vents for optimal performance.
-
Check Condensate Drain: Inspect the condensate drain path occasionally to prevent moisture buildup, clogging, or odors.
-
Annual Professional Service: Schedule yearly HVAC maintenance for internal coil cleaning, refrigerant check, and system performance evaluation.
-
Turn Off Power Before Cleaning: Always shut off power before removing filters or cleaning interior parts for safety.
-
Monitor Performance: If airflow weakens or noise increases, clean filters more often or contact a technician to check internal components.
