MAINTENANCE TIPS
To maintain your air conditioner at optimum efficiency and the most important is to keep fresh and cool air circulation in your room. Here are some tips on how you can maximize your Panasonic air-conditioning unit

Don't short cycle the cooling system

Air conditioners have a cooling system identical to a refrigerator's. It is important not to turn the unit off and then back on right away. Wait at least ten minutes after shutting the unit off to allow the pressure in the refrigeration system to equalize once again. This will prolong the life of your air conditioner.

 

Cleaning the Indoor Unit

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water hotter than 40°C or polishing fluid to clean the unit
.

 

Clean the Air Filter

Remove dirt using a vacuum cleaner. Wash the air filter with water. If badly soiled, wash it with soap or a mild household detergent. Let it dry and reinstall it.

Recommendation:
If the unit is operated in a dusty environment, clean the filters every two weeks, continuous use of these dirty filters will reduce cooling efficiency.

When Air Conditioner is Not Used for an Extended Period of Time

Dry the internal parts of the indoor unit by operating the unit for 2-3 hours using FAN operation (Cooling model) / heating operation with 30°C set temperature (Heat Pump model). Turn off the power supply and unplug. Remove the remote control batteries.

 

Recommended Inspection

After used over several seasons, the unit will become dirty and thus decreases the unit's performance. Depending on the operation conditions, a dirty unit may produce odour and dust may pollute dehumidification system. Therefore, a seasonal inspection is recommended in addition to regular cleaning. (Consult an authorized dealer).
