Here are some tips on your DIY air conditioner care at home :

Before cleaning, be sure to stop the operation and turn the power switch / isolator “OFF”.
Don’t touch the metal parts of the indoor unit. If you touch those parts, this may cause an injury.
When removing or attaching the front panel, use a robust and stable stool and watch your steps carefully. Support the panel securely.
Only neutral detergent may be used. Do not use hot water above 40°C, benzene, gasoline, thinner, volatile oils, polishing compound, scrubbing brushes, nor other hand stuff.
In case of washing the panel with water, dry it with cloth, dry in up in the shade after washing.
After Cleaning, make sure that the front panel is securely fixed.

Clean the air filter with vacuum cleaner and then rinsing it under running water.
If the dust does not come off easily, wash them with neutral detergent thinned with lukewarm water, then dry them up in the shade.
Do not expose the air filter to direct sunlight or heat from a fire when drying.
It is recommended to clean the air filters every two weeks.

Do not drop the remote controller.
Do not get it wet.
Never expose the remote controller to direct sunlight.
Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the sensitivity. Wipe off dust with soft cloth.
Replace the batteries of remote controller with two new ones of the same type. Using an old battery with a new one may result in heat generation, leakage or even an explosion.

When Stopping the system for a long period :
- Turn on fan operation for a half day and dry the unit.
- Turn of the power switch / isolator when the unit is not to be used for long periods of time. Otherwise, the unit may get hot or catch on fire due to dust accumulation. Plus : when the power switch is turned on, some watts of electricity is being used even if the system if not operating. Turn off the power switch for saving energy.
- Remove the batteries from the remote controller.
Start up after a long stop :
- Check and confirm that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Remove any obstacle.
- Check and confirm if the earth is connected? Might there be a broken wire somewhere?
- Clean the filter and outside panel.
- Turn on the power switch. To protect the unit, turn on the power switch at least 6 hours before operation.
- Use new batteries for the remote controller.
