From the manufacturer's documentation (English source wording, with page)

  1. Clean the air filter every two weeks or when the filter-cleaning reminder appears on the indoor unit display[1]
  2. Slide the filter off of the unit[2]
  3. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris on the filter[3]
  4. Soak the filter in a solution of water and mild detergent for 30 minutes[4]
  5. Rinse the filter and let it air dry in a well-ventilated area that is out of direct sunlight[5]
  6. Reinstall the filter; reset the filter-cleaning reminder (Settings – Filter reset)[6]
  7. Do not scrub the air filter with a hard-bristle brush; do not expose the air filter to direct sunlight when drying it[7]
  8. Cleaning the outside of the indoor unit: turn off the air conditioner and wait until the fan stops; disconnect the power supply; use a soft brush or lukewarm damp cloth[8]
  9. Do not clean the appliance by spraying water directly onto it. Water entering the unit may result in electric shock or fire[9]
  10. Do not use sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or organic solvents such as paint thinner, kerosene, acetone, benzene, or alcohol to clean the unit surfaces[10]
  11. Use the Auto clean function if the indoor unit produces odors. To activate, press the Options button for at least 3 seconds; it runs 10 to 30 minutes after the air conditioner turns off[11]
  12. If you need to inspect or clean the inside of the heat exchanger on the outdoor unit, contact a local service centre for help[12]
