Easy Filter Plus and PM 1.0 Filter
For the efficient functioning of your air conditioner, it is important to keep the filters clean.
A wall-mounted air conditioner with Easy Filter Plus contains:
- Easy Filter Plus (free filter)
A wall-mounted air conditioner with PM 1.0 Filter contains:

Turn off the device and unplug the power cord.

- Rinse the filters under running water. If necessary, use a soft brush to remove excess dust.
- Dry the filters in a well-ventilated shaded area. Keep the filter out of direct sunlight.
- Ensure the filters are not completely dry, otherwise they may smell bad when inserted back into the air conditioner.
