How to use Auto-Clean on a Samsung air conditioner?

The auto-clean function automatically cleans and dries the inside of the air conditioner indoor unit. In order to keep the air conditioner in optimum condition and maintain purity of the air in your home, regularly clean the indoor unit, filters, and external exchanger.

The auto-clean function will prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms by eliminating the moisture inside the indoor unit. This function prevents rusting on the evaporator coil. Activate this function to provide cleaner and healthier air. Using auto-clean is purely dependent on the user and how often they use it. We recommend that you use the auto cleaning function regularly.

• If Auto-Clean function is turned on, Cl will be displayed in the indoor unit.
• When operation is off, auto-clean runs for 10 min. (in a few models for 15-30 min.)
• The indoor unit display shows the cleaning progress (from 1 to 99%). 
• After auto clean, the air conditioner will turn off automatically.
  

When you set the auto-clean function, it will start immediately after the air conditioner is turned off. If you start a function while in auto-clean operation, the auto-clean function will reset, and will be restarted when that function has stopped or completed.

Step 1. Press and hold the Options button for 3 seconds or more. 

Step 2. Go to the directional buttons (right or left arrow) to select the Clean function on the remote control display. 

Step 3. Click the Settings button to confirm.
