How do you maintain your air conditioner?

You want to enjoy your portable air conditioner for as long as possible. That's why it's important to maintain your portable air conditioner properly. Dust and dirt will cause your air conditioner to work less well. We'll give you different tips, so your portable air conditioner lasts longer.

Get started with your air conditioner

Maintain a portable air conditioner

With these 4 steps, you can get the most out of your portable air conditioner:

  • Step 1: disconnect your air conditioner from power
  • Step 2: empty the condenser reservoir daily
  • Step 3: keep the casing clean
  • Step 4: clean the filters

Step 1: disconnect your air conditioner from power

Disconnect air conditioner from power

Before you start the maintenance, be sure to remove the device from power. Remove the plug from the air conditioner or the socket.

Step 2: remove the condenser reservoir daily

Empty the air conditioner

During the hot summer days, the air conditioner dehumidifies the air. That's why it's important to empty the condenser reservoir on a daily basis. The air conditioner will continue to work that way, because a portable air conditioner turns off when the condenser reservoir is full. You should also empty the condenser reservoir if you don't use the air conditioner for a while. If the water stays in there for a while, it'll start to smell bad.

Step 3: keep the casing clean

Clean casing

If there's dust on the casing, the air conditioner will blow this into the room. How often you should clean the casing depends on your house. Do you have a lot of dust at home? Wipe off the casing on a weekly basis. You should also clean the casing with a damp cloth without cleaners. Do this every other week or so.

Step 4: clean the filters

Clean the filters

Most portable air conditioners have 1 or multiple filters. You find them at the back of the appliance. With dirty filters, the air conditioner moves less air around. That's why it's important to clean these filters, so dust doesn't build up. Check the manual how to clean the filters of your air conditioner.
