In the summer, the household had been able to leave the air conditioners almost daily, either in the bedroom or in the living room cabinet, for months. However, the vast majority of the population used air conditioners for five to six years, only using switches, changing temperature and wind speeds without knowing their own air conditioner remote control, with a free and functional automatic cleaning function. I had a chat with the electrician a while ago, and i found that at least 78 out of 10 families had never been able to perform this internal function. Long-term failure to open automatic cleaning, internal air conditioning evaporation units, wind wheels accumulate thick dust, fungus and mites, with a stench in the wind, a year-to-year difference in cooling effects, a quiet increase in electricity consumption, and, in serious cases, inflammation of the family's nose and throat. Many people spend more than a hundred dollars a year asking their master to go to the house and clean up, but most of the basic cleaning work can be done with the air conditioning self-contained procedure, which is totally unnecessary. Today, the complete principles of the automatic clean-up model of air-conditioning, the correct start-up steps, the use of frequency, the combination maintenance techniques are described in one-time terms, with no extra cost, no machine, and ordinary people doing the same can prolong the air-conditioning life, save electricity, and reduce indoor air pollution, which is particularly practical。
I. What is the automatic air conditioning? It's not a scratch. It's the original plant
When many friends first saw the “cleaning” button on the remote, the first reaction was commercial marketing, which was completely flawed. The vast majority of wall-mounted air-conditioning and stand-alone cabinets now produced after 2018, whether gly, u. S., hale, walling or millet, have included self-cleaning as a base function for medium- and high-end air-conditioning labelling, rather than an extra-priced bouquet。
The core principle of automatic clean-up of air conditioners is particularly well understood and does not require any cleaning agent throughout the journey, relying on cold-heated alternation frosts and frosting for internal dust removal. In short, since the clean-up mode, air conditioners are activated with short-lived indoor opportunities into low-power cooling operations, evaporation surfaces are rapidly condensed with thick ice cream, which binds to dust, fuzzy, fungus spores attached to the evaporation suture; when the cream is completed, the air conditioner automatically switches to the heat-making mode, the frosting quickly melts into a large volume of condensed water, flowing down the evaporation unit, following the laminated stains directly to the waterboard and draining pipes outside the room, the process generally runs for 20 to 40 minutes, with slight variations in brand size。
Here is a set of real measurements: household electric laboratories have shown that the routine use of automatic cleaning can remove more than 65 per cent of the dust and most of the fungus from evaporation surfaces, and that air conditioning that does not wash, filters and piles of impurities can significantly improve the two most common problems. Many feel that the more expensive the air conditioner is, in large part, caused by the ash of the evaporation unit, the lower thermal efficiency, the longer it takes the compressor to operate at a high load to reach the established temperature, the higher the cost of electricity naturally。
There are rumours that automatic cleaning is not a complete substitute for an annual deep-dismantling machine, which is positioned for routine maintenance, which is equivalent to “daily brushing” of air conditioners, and that “annual tooth-washing” is the equivalent of a master's door-to-door cleaning, which is used in combination, so that air conditioning can remain in the best working condition in the long term without frequent maintenance。
Ii. Hand-held hands: different brands of air conditioners start the clean-up process correctly
Many have tried to turn on self-cleaning, but the results are poor, and even when the air conditioner goes off, most of it at the time of opening and the advance steps are wrong. The following steps are generic and mainstream brand exclusive, all simple and easy to understand, and older people can operate easily。
Universal pre-steps required (all air conditioners are generic, one is indispensable)
First step: to shut down the air conditioning cooling/heating mode and completely shut down the air conditioning for three minutes, and completely shut down the compressor. Step 2: open the interior panel of the air conditioner, remove the filter, wash the back of the filter with water, dry it completely in the shade, and be careful not to tan the net, which causes the filtration of the filtration plastic to age and affect wind efficiency. Step 3: reload the panel when the filter drys, close the panel, confirm that the air conditioner exits the windway panel and does not use external force to push the panel. By completing these three steps and starting self-cleaning, the efficiency of cleaning can be more than doubled。
Mainstream brand simple opening
Utility/whaling air conditioners: the remote control is directly marked with a “self-cleaning” button, which is closed, which automatically activates the entire cleaning program, without human intervention, and automatically shuts down the air conditioner at the end of its operation, and partially drys up the internal evaporation unit and avoids damp growth of bacteria。
Gl: the old gl remote control does not have an independent self-cleaning key and requires three seconds long press the remote “dry/heated” key, and the cl appears on the screen, i. E. The automatic clean-up starts; the new gl remote is indicated directly from the clean-up and the first key is activated。
Hale air conditioning: the remote control found the " function " key, short function key, screen rolling option, selected " clean-up " , which can be activated by pressing the confirmation key, and the steering panel will be slightly open during operation, normal and without panic。
4. Small rice and cloudy internet air conditioner: in a shut-down state, open the rice house app, find self-cleaning options in the air conditioner control panel, click on the starter and open on the physical remote control with a five-second wind key。
Critical usage details
The air conditioner will have a small flow of water, a low-speed wind engine, a normal working sound from the cleaning operation, and it will never be possible to break power, pull plugs and force-interrupt procedures will accumulate water inside the fuselage and become more impervious. The complete set-up is completed with the automatic air conditioner waiting for 10 minutes before it becomes operational。
How often does it fit? We'll use it on a seasonal basis. We'll save money and protect the machine
Many people either do not open themselves from year to day, or open them every day, either in a way that is not appropriate, and that offers precise and frequent use options that are entirely compatible with their home environment, taking into account the different climates of the north and the south。
Summer hf life (june-september)
It is recommended to open automatic cleaning every 15 days of air conditioner in the southern part of the country, which is humid and rainy, with a high degree of humidity and dust in the air. High indoor humidity in the southern mosaics, high internal humidity of air conditioners, and a half-monthly evaporation scrubbing can significantly reduce the smell of wind blowing while ensuring a stable cooling efficiency. In the north, the summer is dry and dusty and can be eased up to about 25 days。
Winter heating (november-february)
In winter, air-conditioning heaters also accumulate dust, together with closed doors and windows and poor air flow, and self-cleaning is recommended every 30 days. Many households tend to find hot wind in winter, slow heat production, mostly internal ash accumulation hinders heat exchange, after regular cleaning, the heat production becomes significantly faster, compressors are less burdened and the cost of electricity can be reduced in winter。
Seasonal idle phase (in spring and autumn without air conditioning)
A complete self-cleaning mode must be activated once a year before air conditioners are discontinued in the fall. Upon completion of the cleaning, the air conditioner automatically drys the internal residual moisture, avoids the drying of the air conditioner during two or three months, the internal body of the air conditioner is damp and the smell of stingy noses is spread as soon as the air conditioner is activated in the summer of next year, a key maintenance step that most households will miss, a step that will directly save the cost of door-to-door odour cleaning。
Reasons for not recommending frequent openings
Self-cleaning does not need to be initiated once a day or two or three days, and frequent frosts can cause minor loss of air conditioner evaporation coatings, which, in accordance with the cycle above, can achieve maintenance without damage to the internal parts of the air conditioner。
Iv. 3 small, free maintenance techniques, 30% power savings for air conditioners and significant reduction in failure rates
The automatic clean-up model alone is not enough, with the following three low-cost techniques: air conditioners will be in a better overall state of use; they will be effective in reducing electricity consumption; they will extend the life of the whole machine for 8 to 10 years; they will all operate with no operational threshold。
Skill one: 10 minutes after each air conditioner is shut down
Many people use the air conditioner to shut down directly, and large quantities of condensed water are stored inside the evaporation unit, which in a closed environment breeds bacteria and alien smell overnight. The correct approach is to turn off cooling, shifting to wind delivery mode when prepared to use air conditioning, mid-wind speed, running for 10 minutes, drying up the remaining water in the evaporation unit, maintaining a dry internal environment, and the fungus is not breeding at all. The combination is regularly self-cleaning and air conditioning does not smell sour in years。
Skills ii: rational setting of temperature and reduction of overload operation of compressors
In accordance with national guidelines for energy conservation, the setting of 26°c for air-conditioning refrigeration in the summer is the best balance point, both to ensure coolness and comfort in the interior and to minimize the load of compressors. In order to drive coolly to 22 degrees and 20 degrees, compressors continue to operate at high speed for long periods of time, not only depleting electricity surges, but also increasing the rate of internal ash accumulation and aging air conditioning. Twenty-six degrees c, combined with an automatic wind-shield, is fully fit, and one summer comes to an ordinary three-member family, saving hundreds of dollars in electricity。
Tactic iii: regular check for open outdoor drainage
Air conditioners are drained from clean sewage, all of which are drained from outdoor drainage pipes, and if the drain pipes are clogged and bending, the reflow of the sewage can damage the interior circuit boards and cause failure to repair them. It is recommended that every two months to check the balcony and the outer wall to see if there is a smooth flow of water out of the drain, and that if the flow slows, the probability is that there is mud and slurry within the pipe, and that only a small amount of water can be pumped into the pipes, which can deconstruct the pipes, avoid a leak in late air conditioners and save hundreds of dollars for maintenance。
V. Large inventory of common error areas, 90 per cent of users stepping on pits, white and white-depleted air conditioners and electricity
In the case of the use of air-conditioning self-cleaning, there are a number of misconceptions on the internet, many of which are used in the wrong way, not only without maintenance effects, but rather with damage to air-conditioning, and one by one, to avoid all the pits。
Zone 1: cleaning is useless. It's completely chicken ribs
Rumours: according to empirical data from the household electricity industry, the consistent use of self-cleaning air conditioners is only 7 per cent after three years, while the total non-use of self-cleaning air conditioners, which do not wash filters, is as high as 28 per cent over three years, with a significant difference in electricity consumption. While self-cleaning cannot be a substitute for deep-discretion machine washing, routine maintenance functions are present and are not chicken ribs at all。
Mistake 2: cleaning will cost you a lot of electricity
Rumours: a complete clean-up consumes only 0. 2-0. 4 degrees of electricity, less than two cents a clean-up, half a month, and less than three bucks a summer. Compared to the cost of air conditioning after the ash build, and the cost of cleaning up a hundred places, the value of the service is extremely high and there is no charge。
Wrong area 3: start cleaning and have to remove the interior hose
In total error, when the air conditioner is out of the plant design, it is designed to follow the exterior drains of the drainage pipes from cleaning, without the need for artificial removal, and the private removal of the drainage pipes can easily result in loose interfaces and indoor leaks during normal use at a later stage, bearing in mind that the original air conditioning plant road structure is not altered at will。
Erect 4: old air conditioners can't use self-cleaning
As long as air conditioners can properly cool the heat, they can be opened for self-cleaning for five or eight years. Old air-conditioning evaporaters accumulate even more heavy, using self-cleaning on a regular basis to improve the problem of low wind and high noise, with the sole concern that older air-conditioning units with more than 10 years of age are being used and that, in addition to self-cleaning, it is recommended that a simple overhaul of the freon pressure be undertaken by the master and that the use of them be improved。
Vi. Under what circumstances must masters be asked to clean in depth? I don't think it's a good idea
We know that self-cleaning is appropriate for daily maintenance, and when will it be necessary to pay professionals to come in and clean up? Clear lines are drawn so that people do not spend their money in blind years, nor do they have to carry it when they do, causing air conditioning damage。
To meet any of the following situations, it is recommended that a complete depth wash be performed before the use of air conditioning every summer:
First, air conditioners have been used for more than three years and have never been washed with a breaker. Wind wheels and evaporation cracks outside the filter have accumulated a large amount of persistent dust, which cannot be washed clean; second, air conditioners have a heavy and acidy winding smell, even if it still exists after they have been opened, indicating that there is already a large amount of persistent fungus within the wind wheel; and third, air conditioning has significantly reduced windfalls, with the same temperature, significantly slower cooling in the room and, when filters are removed, the internal stains are too thick to change heat。
In addition to this, it is sufficient that an air conditioner can be cleaned in depth for a period of three to four years, without annual cleaning costs, as long as it is consistent with regular cleaning + monthly washing of filters. At the same time, you are reminded that the choice of a purger is to choose the official sale of the brand, so as not to damage the buttons and the circuits of irregular persons when they are taken down, which results in additional maintenance costs。
Vii. Long-term correct maintenance of air conditioners, and these hidden benefits, which many have not noticed
The rational use of the automated clean-up model, combined with a full range of maintenance programmes, has tangible benefits for the health of families, in particular families with infants and young children, patients with nasal inflammation and elderly people, in addition to saving electricity and spending less。
Accumulated dust, mites, fungi within air conditioners are highly susceptible to allergies, soaking throats, frequent sneezes, lower immune capacity of children, early coughing, nasal plugs, etc., as wind is transported into indoor air. The persistence of regular self-cleaning, the significant increase in air conditioning and the significant decrease in the amount of indoor suspended contaminants, and a significant decrease in the probability of infirmity of the home-based respiratory tracts throughout the summer。
In addition, air conditioners, which are maintained, will operate with less noise, and the compressor and winder will function smoothly at night when the sleep mode is in silence, with no sudden and small noises and better sleep at night. At the same time, the air-conditioning compressor load is stable, the probability of failure and fluorine leakage is significantly reduced, a formal air conditioner has a normal life of about 15 years, and many households have frequent breakdowns in only 78 years, mostly due to chronic neglect of maintenance, low-cost routine maintenance and steady use of air conditioning for longer periods of service。
