Self-Care Tips for Home Air-Conditioners

Frequency

1

Remove & wash the air filters with water (if the air-conditioner is being switched on for 8 hours daily)

2

3

Open the windows & turn the air-conditioners to “Fan” Model (for at least an hour) for better ventilation within the room and to prevent unpleasant smell & growth of mould

Weekly

4

Remove batteries from the handheld wireless remote controller if the air-conditioner is not used for a long time. Alkaline batteries are prone to leaks if left unused for a long time & will cause damage to the remote controller.
