Care and cleaning
Your air conditioner is designed for year-round operation with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. But cleaning your LG portable air conditioner is vital for ensuring clean indoor air quality and maintaining its effectiveness.
Try this
1Cleaning the filter
➔ The air filters should be cleaned every two weeks; depending on indoor air quality, more frequent cleaning may be needed. A dirty air filter will decrease airflow and reduce efficiency.
- Turn the product off, and unplug the power cord.
- Open the suction grill at the rear of the product to take out the ultra-fine filter.
- Use a cleaning machine or soft brush to clean it.
- Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot water.
- Do not wash in a dishwasher.
- If it is severely contaminated, wash it with water using a neutral detergent. (Do not use hot water over 40℃(104°F))
- Completely dry it in a shade. When drying it, avoid intense heat such as from a fireplace or direct sunlight.
2Cleaning the exterior
➔ Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe dry with a dry cloth or towel.
- To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc., or any abrasive cleansers to clean the air conditioner; they may damage the finish.
- Never pour water onto or into the air conditioner. It could damage internal components and create a shock and fire hazard.
- Do not directly spray water to the product.
- Do not use sulfuric acid/hydrochloric acid or organic agent(thinner, kerosene, or acetone and etc) to clean the product because it can cause damages.
3Draining condensed water
➔ When the internal water collection tank is full, the LED display will show FL and the air conditioner will turn off until the tank is emptied. When there is too much water inside not getting evaporated, you will start hearing an annoying high-pitch whistling noise coming from the ventilation fan.
- Turn off the product and pull the power cord out.
- Prepare a bowl to handle the condensed water. (1.5L(0.4gal) or less)
- Open the drain plug.
- Open the drain rubber plug.
Close the drain plug in the reverse order to opening it but be careful not to tighten it too securely.
Overtightening or tightening the drain plug incorrectly may cause a water leak.
