Care and Maintenance
Turn the power off and unplug the power plug before cleaning the air conditioner.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the inlet grille should be checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks (or as
necessary) to maintain optimal performance of the air conditioner.
How to remove the air filter
1. The grille may be opened from the top for easy
maintenance after installation.
2. Open the inlet grille by pulling out on the exposed
door on the top of the unit (based on installation).
3. Pull the tab slightly to release the filter. Pull the
filter in the same direction as the opening.
4. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water.
5. Rinse off and gently shake off excess water from
the filter. Make sure filter is completely dry before
replacing it.
Drainage
The base pan may overflow due to high humidity. To drain
the excess water, remove the drain cap from the back of
the unit and secure the drainpipe.
When pressing the drainpipe into place, apply force in the
direction away from the fins to avoid injuring yourself.
