You must press 'this button' before turning off the air conditioner, but most people don't know this (tip).

Using air conditioning to cool off during the summer heat has now become a routine activity.

However, many people do not know the proper way to turn off the air conditioner 'correctly'.

Generally, people think that simply pressing the 'Power' button is enough to turn off the air conditioner, but

Doing this can prevent the cool air inside the air conditioner from being expelled, which may cause various problems.

 

 

 

It is recommended to operate the 'fan' function before turning off the air conditioner.

Let's find out the important reason why you should press the 'Fan' button on the remote control before turning off the air conditioner.

 

 

◆ Basic operating principle of air conditioning

 

Air conditioners lower indoor temperatures by circulating indoor air, absorbing heat through refrigerant, and releasing it outside. During this process, moisture forms on the heat exchanger and filters inside the indoor unit. Therefore, suddenly turning off the air conditioner leaves this moisture behind, creating an environment conducive to mold and bacteria growth.

 

 

◆ Role of the air blowing function

 

The blower function plays a very important role in circulating indoor air when the air conditioner's cooling function is turned off. It helps remove moisture from inside the air conditioner, which is crucial for preventing mold and bacterial growth, making it very important from a hygienic perspective. Additionally, using the blower function significantly helps reduce odors inside the air conditioner.

 

◆ How to use the blower function

 

1. Press the fan button before turning off the air conditioner: Before turning off the air conditioner, press the 'Fan' button on the remote control. The fan function generally operates for about 30 minutes.

 

2. Turn off the power after operating the blower: After the blower function has operated, turn off the air conditioner completely. This effectively removes moisture inside the air conditioner and helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

 

Advantages of the blowing function

 

🟢Mold and bacteria suppression

 

Moisture remaining inside the air conditioner provides an ideal environment for mold and bacteria to grow. Using the fan function can remove this moisture and inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria. This is especially important for people with allergies or respiratory conditions.

 

🟢 Odor removal

 

When you use the air conditioner for a long time, it can develop a characteristic smell. This is caused by dust and moisture accumulated inside. You can eliminate the cause of this smell using the fan function.

 

🟢 Extending the lifespan of the air conditioner

 

Removing moisture inside the air conditioner helps prevent component corrosion and extends the lifespan of the air conditioner. Regular use of the fan function allows the air conditioner to be used for a longer period.

Instead of turning off the air conditioner immediately after use, develop the habit of first using the fan function to remove internal moisture. This not only prevents the growth of mold and bacteria, ensuring hygiene, but also helps extend the lifespan of the air conditioner and reduce odors. Let's have a healthier and more comfortable summer by applying this small but often overlooked tip.
