3. If it smells bad , r emove the filter from the appliance   and prepare the citric acid water  by d iluting commercially available citric acid  with water at a ratio of 

 1 (citric acid) : 10 (water) and sprinkle this solution sufficiently on the indoor heat exchanger.   

After that, run the cooling mode with the desired temperature set to 18 ℃ for 20 to 30 minutes.
