Regular cleaning of the filters in your air-conditioner will ensure it ’ s working to peak efficiency .
10 . CLEAN AIR-CON FILTERS TOOLS REQUIRED
• A battery-powered blower vacuum ;
• An old toothbrush ; and
• The user manual for the airconditioner .
WHAT TO DO
Remove the filters according to the procedure described in the user manual . Be very careful : many of these filters are very delicate and are easily broken if handled roughly .
Remove any dust you can by hand . Blow away any remaining dust using the blower vac . Start at a low fan speed and slowly increase until any remaining dust has been removed . An old toothbrush may be required to dislodge any hard-set dust . Carefully refit the filters .
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO IT ?
This will depend on how often you use the air-conditioner . Once a week if you ’ re using the airconditioner continuously should suffice .
