Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Air Filter Frequently: Remove and wash the washable filter every 2–4 weeks to maintain airflow and efficiency. Clogged filters reduce performance.
-
Dust Unit Exterior & Louvers: Wipe the unit’s front panel and air louvers with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup.
-
Keep Airflow Unobstructed: Ensure furniture, curtains, or décor don’t block the airflow intake and discharge for best performance.
-
Check Condensate Drain: Periodically inspect the condensate drain to prevent clogs, moisture buildup, or odor issues.
-
Annual Professional Service: Have a certified HVAC technician inspect and clean internal coils, verify refrigerant levels, check electrical connections, and ensure safe operation.
-
Monitor for Unusual Sounds/Issues: Strange noises, reduced airflow, or odor can signal maintenance needs — contact your installer/technician early.
-
Maintain Proper Clearance: Keep the area around the indoor unit clear to support performance and easy access for service checks.
