As the weather gradually approaches the peak of the hot season, the air conditioner's operation frequency is quite high during this time. Therefore, at the beginning of the hot season, it's advisable to clean your home air conditioner to enhance its performance and protect the health of everyone in your family.
Completely cut off the power:
This is a crucial first step before you want to clean your home air conditioner before the peak of the hot season. Completely cutting off the power prevents the air conditioner from electrical issues during cleaning and, more importantly, ensures your safety in case of previously unknown electrical leaks.
Clean the air outlet:
Firstly, remove the outer casing of the air conditioner and use a thin cloth to wipe away dust on the exhaust pipes, water pipes, wires, and components located behind the evaporator. Be sure to clean gently to avoid affecting electronic devices and the deep cooling panel inside the air conditioner.
Check the water drain pipes:
The water drain pipes installed at the bottom rear of the air conditioner are where small dust and waste are discharged. Over time, they can accumulate dirty sediment. Use a small brush or soft-bristle brush to gently clean the inside of the water drain pipes, pushing away long-standing dirt that may block the pipes.
Clean the filter:
Use a soft-bristle brush or a small brush to gently clean the filter mesh. In case of heavy dirt accumulation, delicately remove the filter mesh and wash it with lightly soapy water, then let it dry before reinstalling it into the air conditioner.
Thoroughly dry all components:
When disassembling components for cleaning, you must wait for a certain period for the components to completely air dry before installing them back into the air conditioner. This final step ensures that the air conditioner does not experience electrical issues due to water, extending the product's lifespan.
