Care and Cleaning:
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new.
Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent
shock or fire hazards:
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if
cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build
up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and
warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess
water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before
replacing.
Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.
Cabinet Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire
hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an
oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution
of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleaner, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping
around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls
may cause damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter,
remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the
original carton.
NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connetions from being
damaged, store air conditioner in an upright position and
in a dry place.
