  3. Allow the filter to dry completely before reinserting.
  4. Alternatively, vacuum the filter to remove dust.
• Cabinet Cleaning:
  1. Unplug the air conditioner.
  2. Dust with an oil-free cloth or wash with a cloth dampened in warm water and mild liquid soap.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
  4. Avoid harsh cleaners, wax, or polish.

Winter Storage:

• For extended periods of non-use, remove the unit from the window according to installation instructions.
• Cover it with plastic or store it in its original box.

Wear and Tear:

• To minimize wear, wait at least 3 minutes before changing modes to prevent compressor overheating and circuit breaker tripping.

Troubleshooting: The guide includes a troubleshooting section for common issues:

• Unit not starting: Check if unplugged, blown fuse/tripped breaker, power failure, or tripped current interrupter device.
• Unit not cooling: Check for restricted airflow, incorrect temperature setting, dirty air filter, room too warm, cold air escaping, or frozen cooling coils.
• Unit freezing up: Ice blocking airflow.
• Remote control not working: Check battery insertion and battery life.
• Water dripping outside: Normal in hot and humid weather.
• Water dripping inside: Unit not tilted correctly (should be slightly tilted downward from front to rear).
• Water collects in base pan: Normal moisture removal.
• Digital Display reads "E1" or "E2": Indicates a sensor failure, requiring customer service.
