Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Use a non-abrasive scouring pad for stubborn spots, and dry thoroughly.

• Condenser Coil Maintenance: Clean the condenser coils regularly to remove dust and debris. This improves airflow, boosts efficiency, and extends the unit's life.

• Drain Line Inspection: Check the drain lines periodically for clogs. Blockages can lead to standing water and mold growth, so proper drainage is essential for hygiene.
