I Didnt Let My Air Filter Dry Before Putting It Back in the Wall

How to clean your air conditioner filter

Cleaning your air conditioner regularly will ensure optimal efficiency and power consumption.

What you will need

To get started, you will need a pair of gloves, a cleaning cloth, vacuum cleaner and our Quick Clean accessory kit.

The MAC-093SS Quick Cleaning kit is available to purchase from your installer or through the Mitsubishi Electric Spare Pats service.

Cleaning the front panel

Lift the front panel of your wall unit until you hear a click.

Hold the hinges and pull to remove.

This panel can be wiped with a dry cloth or rinsed in luke-warm water, before being dried with a soft cloth. Place this panel aside for now.

Connecting the quick clean kit

Next we�ll prepare our Quick Clean kit ready for use. Insert the universal adapter into your vacuum cleaner tube, followed by the flexible connection hose. There are two brush sizes provided.

Cleaning the air filter

Let�s now clean an Air Filter. This should be performed every two weeks. With the front panel open, unclick the Air Filter and remove. Light dust can be removed with low power vacuuming, or wash in lukewarm water for heavier dirt. Allow to dry and place aside.

You may notice a second filter within the air filter frame � this is the Air Cleaning Filter. We recommend this is cleaned every three months in the same way as cleaning the Air Filter it sits within. Your Air Cleaning Filter should be replaced annually.

With the air filters removed and cleaned, we�ll now clean the Heat Exchanger within your air conditioner. This is best to do once the unit has been off for at least 5 hours to avoid any moisture or heat buildup.

Cleaning the heat exchanger

Wearing gloves, vacuum with the large brush attachment only in a vertical action, following the fins of the Heat Exchanger.

Use the small brush attachment to clean the harder to reach, narrow spaces at the top and bottom of the Heat Exchanger.

Lastly, we�ll clean the Fan Unit itself. These instructions relate to Mitsubishi Electric models fitted with a Quick Clean Body allowing easy fan access. Consult your instruction manual if your Fan Unit looks different to this.

Start by turning the horizontal vanes downward. Remove by unlocking both sliding tabs to the right.

Cleaning the fan

Swing out the two vertical vanes one by one. Clean the air outlet with a soft dry cloth.

Using your Quick Clean Kit adapters, move your brush along the blades of the fan horizontally. Place the vertical vanes back into their respective guides one by one, they will click into place.

Install the horizontal vane by following the removal steps in reverse. If the horizontal vane isn�t re-installed correctly, all LED lamps will blink when power is turned back on.

Don�t forget to carefully place the Air and Air Cleaning Filters back into their original positions, along with the front panel fitting. Your Mitsubishi Electric Air Conditioner is now cleaned and ready for use.
