Removing and cleaning the filter can be
dangerous.

have toperiodically wipe down the grille to
prevent animal hair blocking airflow.
If the air filter becomes clogged, the performance
will decrease and electricity will be wasted.

the indoor unit. This can destroy
insulation and cause electrical shock.

when drying. This can shrink the filter.

small room, measures must be taken to
prevent the refrigerant concentration
from exceeding the safety limit in the
event of refrigerant leakage.
