STEPS

TO CLEAN YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

Before you begin, it is best practice to read through the instruction manual provided by the air conditioner manufacturer. The manual will provide you with instructions on how to perform the following steps.

CLEANING YOUR INDOOR UNIT:

When in use, your indoor unit picks up dirty air particles like dust and mould that float around. These particles sit on the filters and over time the dirt builds up which makes it hard for your air conditioner to pump out clean air. This is not ideal as it could lead to higher running costs and lead to burn out. By following these simple steps once per month you eliminate the risks of not.

Here’s how:

Make sure your air conditioning unit is off
Open the unit as per manufacturer instructions.
Remove the dust filters (as per manufacture instructions) and clean off the debris by using a soft brush or cloth.
If the filters have dirt and dust build up on them, wash them gently with come warm water and very mild detergent.
Cleaning the louvers (blades that direct the air) is also required as these could hold some black dirt or mould and yes, you are breathing that in. Gently wipe these with a warm cloth.
Re-insert the filters once they are completely dry.
Close the unit.
Switch the unit on and check that is operating correctly.
