Maintenance Tips
-
Wash grille and front panel regularly using mild soap and water (avoid harsh chemicals).
-
Check and clean outdoor coils periodically to prevent dust buildup and reduced cooling power.
-
Ensure proper window tilt (slightly outward) so condensation drains correctly and avoids water leaks.
-
Do not block airflow inside or outside unit (curtains, furniture, or debris reduce performance).
-
Avoid operating below 32°F (freezing conditions) to prevent damage.
-
Unplug before cleaning or maintenance for safety.
-
Check foam seals and insulation each season to prevent cool air loss and improve efficiency.
-
Listen for unusual noise or vibration—tighten mounting if needed to reduce rattling.
-
Store properly in off-season (dry, covered, upright) to extend lifespan.
