Just as there is that unique smell of new product when you purchase new furniture or a new car, there may be also the smell of a new product from your air conditioner.
More than 90% of air conditioner parts are made of plastic, and since new products are immediately wrapped in protective vinyl after manufacture, at that time the smell of those parts cannot be removed through ventilation so, they are trapped inside the packing vinyl and boxes.
Such trapped plastic smells can spread through the air when the air conditioner operates.
Try this
1. If you use the air conditioner mainly after ventilating the room for 30 minutes during initial use, the evaporator will be washed due to condensed water generated in the air conditioner and odors will be discharged slowly to the outside through the drain hose, so such odors will be removed as a result of the air conditioner operating.
2. If you wish to eliminate odors faster, open all windows indoors and operate the air conditioner for 20 to 30 minutes in air cleaning or fan mode with a high fan speed.
Odors will be eliminated faster if you repeat this process 2 to 3 times.
