I mean the mold will grow at the tray since the water will remain in there. But not at others area.

Level of humid depend on the temperature setting. The lower the more dry. 40-45% at the 24c temp setting.

I don't have problem with this level humid. It doesn't consent me if 40% or 60%. But not over than like 70%+. Can feel the stuffy.

Ok got what you mean. By right it should drain quickly and not stagnate. Mould can proliferate where dust adhere to cold area where heat exchange happens.

By right, all the aircon now have the antimold chemical to protect from mold.

Shoudn't have such issue anymore. It is not a new feature now.

If you search some aircon website spcification, it have list down like antimold.

Works for a limited time as chemical resistance can build over time. The plasmacluster method of cell wall breakdown is much more reliable. Anything anti-x won't say doesn't work but only offers to build up their resistance. Like hospital bacteria strain that are this resistant or that.

ok, will try get one and try.. what is the recommended humidity level/%? for room/living hall/kitchen?

Indoor Humidity at 80%RH at 24°C (Cameron) is nice but at 80%RH at 28°C (e.g. bathroom) it's very stuffy already..worse even at 29°C onwards. Tiles will repel hence, the place will stay damp or humid vs marble which will absorb it.

Old AC without inverter has a very straightforward program that dehumidifiy and lowers temperature but beware of long term health effects as the lungs can dry out. Old folks and young children health will be a concern.

Newer AC inverters have a human comfort level that keeps it at a comfortable humidity-temperature range. 45-65% is comfortable but 60-65% is not too drying healthwise which I sense is optimum. But different ppl have different preference. Some like it colder which is because it's too warm in the day or even the night due to room configuration (evening sun) or just used to this feeling.

What tricks the mind to perceive comfort is moving air. Ceiling fan is the great helper here. If you can get the AC to blow towards the ceiling fan e.g. Coanda effect, the added windchill should allow setting the AC higher like 25-28°C depending. Or even dry mode.

Kitchen should be colder as esp where cooking is done.

Generally lower than 50-55%RH. Depends on model and function. Plasma ionizing function should increase humidity than without because the by product of its interaction with surrounding pollutants would be water ie moisture.

notice some mold build-up near the blower.. AC unit quite new.. less than 4 months of using..

anything we can DIY to clean? like sprayer? e.g.:

http://www.lazada.com.my/mr-muscle-mold-an...22.html?rb=3374

http://www.lazada.com.my/clorox-mold-amp-m...47.html?rb=3484

http://www.lazada.com.my/astonish-mould-am...0.html?rb=53139

picture as example.. not too bad in real.

From time to time spray some 3% hydrogen peroxide on it. H2O2 is safe and non toxic and it kills mold and mildew effectively.

Pharmacy got sell in small bottle but it is not cost effective for general cleaning.
I bought a 500ml 35% h202 for RM50. More cost effective if dilute with distilled water.
To get the 3% h2o2, dilute 1 part 35% to 11 part distilled water. Keep the 3% h2o2 in used spray bottle.
Distilled water can get AEON brand. 90sen for 1500ml bottle.
