Cleaning of cabinet
ឺ Clean the unit once a month. Regular cleaning keeps the unit looking new.
ឺ Use a dry cloth to wipe off small amounts of dirt on the outside and inside of the unit and all
accessories. If the outside panels are dirty, clean them with a diluted neutral dishwashing detergent..
(Undiluted detergent can damage the plastic components. For the dilution, refer to the instruction of the
detergent.)
After the cleaning with the diluted detergent, always wipe it off with a wet cloth. Then wipe off the
cabinet or accessories with a dry cloth.
ឺ Never pour water onto or into the unit. Doing so can damage the electric insulation and cause failure.
ឺ The compressor and other mechanical part are completely sealed. This unit requires absolutely no
lubrication.

Cleaning of condenser filter
This unit is provided with the filter lamp on the control panel. Clean the condenser filter when this lamp
lights. Clean the filter once a month even if the lamp is not on since a clogged condenser filter may
cause shorter compressor life as well as the poor cooling.
Clean the condenser filter by the procedure below.
1. Open the grille by pulling it to you as shown in the
figure.
2. Take out the condenser filter.
3. Wash the condenser filter with water.
4. Replace the condenser filter and the grille.
5. Check that the filter lamp is off in the event the lamp
was ON.
WARNING
Do not touch the condenser directly when the condenser filter is removed for cleaning. This may
cause injury by hot surface.
