Periodic check

Long-period use of the air conditioner may cause deterioration or failure of parts due to heat, humidity, dust, and operating conditions, or may cause poor drainage of dehumidified water.

Preparing for long Shut Down Period

1)Clean the filters and reposition them in unit.

2)Operate the unit in fan mode for 3 or 4 hours to dry all internal parts.

3)Turn the unit off and disconnect the main power supply.

4)Before unit is turned on again, make sure the circuit breaker has been turned on for at least 12 hours.

Check points before operation

1)Check that the air filters are installed.

2)Check that the air outlet or inlet is not blocked.

3)Turn on the main power switch or the circuit breaker for the main power supply to the air conditioner.

NOTE

For environmental conservation, it is strongly recommended that the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner in use be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure efficient operation of the air conditioner.

When the air conditioner is operated for a long time, periodic maintenance (once a year) is recommended.

Furthermore, regularly check the outdoor unit for rust and scratches, and remove them or apply rustproof treatment, if necessary.

As a general rule, when an indoor unit is operated for 8 hours or more daily, clean the indoor unit and outdoor unit at least once every 3 months. Ask a professional for this cleaning/maintenance work.

Such maintenance can extend the life of the product though it involves the owner’s expense.

Failure to clean the indoor and outdoor units regularly will result in poor performance, freezing, water leakage, and even compressor failure.
