How should clean the Danby portable air conditioner

 These easy steps should help most users learn how to deep clean their portable air conditioners. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on cleaning your AC model. An ideal time to clean your air conditioner is at the start of summer and then again at the end as the weather becomes cooler and the unit is no longer needed. Filters that need to be replaced may need changing every month or every couple of weeks, depending on the specific filters used.

we need to start cleaning with:

• Warm water with a mild detergent
• A non-abrasive cloth
• Acidic cleaner, such as coil cleaner
• Vacuum cleaner and hose attachments, or handheld vacuum
• Replacement filters, if needed
• Screwdriver, if needed to open portable air conditioner.

• Dry the Water

  As air conditioners dehumidify, they will collect condensate water which must be drained before you can clean. Some models may have drainage systems or be capable of evaporating some of this water, but others will collect the water in a tank. Before you drain the water, make sure your unit is unplugged.

• Drain Out the Unit

  To ensure any residue moisture is removed, run your AC unit on fan mode. This may take around 2 hours. Before continuing cleaning, unplug the unit again. To access all parts, it may be necessary to remove the exhaust hose to access all inside features that need cleaning.

•  Remove the fillers and clean it

  If your filters cannot be cleaned and need replacing, make sure you have the correct make of replacement filters for your unit. Refer to your manual to work out how often the filters need to be replaced.

  If the filters can be cleaned, access your portable air conditioner’s filters and remove them from their frame. With many types, including HEPA and carbon filters, you will be able to shake loose any dust build-up.

  Clean the filter well with a solution of detergent and warm water to remove any additional residue, and leave to dry completely before returning to the unit. Some units also have a pre-filter to prevent dust from entering the unit. This should be cleaned every other week, but do not use any detergents or cleaners on the pre-filter as they may cause residue, which prevents it from working proper

• Build up the Vaccum dust

• Next, open up your unit to clean the intake valves and fins on the evaporator and condenser. Be careful not to touch any sharp or moving components inside the unit while doing this. Use the hose attachments on a vacuum cleaner or a handheld vacuum to remove dust build-up from the inside components.

•  coils cleaning

  It’s essential to keep the cooling coils clean, too, as they are far more complex and more expensive to replace than the air filters.

  Grease and other dirt can build up on the coils and affect how well they are working.

  If needed, clean the cooling coils with an acidic cleaner – a dedicated coil cleaner is available to buy.

  If you need a homemade cleaning option, lime and lemon juice make an effective acidic cleaner, or use a vinegar and water solution.

  You may need to run your AC unit a short while to remove the vinegar smell after cleaning.

• outside unit cleaning

• It’s just as vital to keep your portable air conditioner clean on the outside. Regularly wipe down the housing with a damp cloth. Use non-abrasive material and water with mild detergents to clean the outside as strong chemicals and abrasive materials may harm it.

•  Reassemble AC and Test

  Replace all parts as you found them once you have finished cleaning and the filters have dried. When it is reassembled, test your unit before reattaching it to the window. If the unit blows cold air, it is working as it should. If your AC unit will not be used after cleaning, store it properly in a cool and dry place such as a storage cupboard.
