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.
