CLEANING THE FILTER For energy efficient operation, your filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Units in dusty environments may require more frequent filter cleaning.
ENGLISH WATER BUILD-UP IN THE UNIT, SPLASHING NOISE • This is not a problem. This self-evaporative unit is designed allow condensate to build up in the rear of the unit during cooling and dry modes. The rear fan then runs through the pool of water, splashing it upon the evaporator coils, helping to cool them down. This makes the unit more efficient and eliminates the need to hook up a drain hose. THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT STARTS AND STOPS VERY FREQUENTLY.
