• Fan & Blower Area: With power off, gently wipe the fan/blower area occasionally to prevent buildup and sustain performance.

• Duct & Vent Inspection: Seasonally inspect ductwork and external vent caps for blockages to ensure efficient airflow.

• Controls & Lights: Clean control panels and lights with a damp cloth, avoiding excess moisture near electrical components.
