Maintenance Tips

• Clean Filters Every 2–4 Weeks: Remove, rinse, and dry the washable antibacterial air filter to maintain airflow and efficiency.

• Dust Intake & Surrounding Area: Wipe the intake grille and nearby ceiling surfaces with a soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.

• Keep Drain Line Clear: Check condensate drain for clogs to prevent leaks and water damage.

• Maintain Airflow Clearance: Ensure nothing blocks intake or discharge vents to optimize performance.

• Annual Professional Inspection: Have HVAC technicians clean coils, check refrigerant, and inspect overall unit performance.

• Check Refrigerant & Connections: Only trained professionals should handle R‑454B refrigerant lines and connections.

• Use Remote & Modes Efficiently: Adjust fan speed, vane direction, and energy-saving modes like Econo Cool for comfort and efficiency.

• Dehumidification Mode: Use dry mode to reduce humidity and prevent mold buildup.
