Care and Cleaning (continued)
Air Clean Filter The air clean filter removes dust and dirt from the air, and reduces odors and
smoke from tobacco.
This air clean filter cannot remove harmful gases or vapors nor ventilate air in
the room. You must open doors or windows frequently when you use gas or oil
heating appliances. Otherwise there is a risk of suffocation in extreme cases.
How to install the air clean
filter
The air clean filter needs to be installed behind the air intake grille.
1. Remove the air intake grille.
2. Install the air clean filter in the
position shown in the figure.
3. Remount the air intake grille.
How to clean the air clean filter • In general, the filter should be sucked to remove dust in low fan speed of a
vacuum cleaner once every three months.
• If there is heavily grime on the filter, soak the filter in lukewarm water with
neutral detergent diluted 1:500 for 1 to 2 minutes then wash it.
• Rinse the filter in clean water, then let it dry on the towel in room temperature.
• Do not bend nor give excessive force onto the air clean filter.
• If the filter surface is heavily blocked with dirt or damaged, replace it with new
one. Purchase a replacement filter at your local dealer. (model STK-FDXB)
Cleaning the main unit and
remote control unit
• Wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt, moisten a cloth in warm water no hotter than 104 °F,
wring thoroughly, and then wipe.
• The air intake grille can be removed in order to wash it with water.
Removing and remounting the
air intake grille
Refer to “How to remove the anti-mold filter” and “How to replace the anti-mold
filter” on page 22.
When using a footstool or the like, be careful not to let it tip over.
Washing the grille with water • Clean the grille gently using a soft sponge, or the like. Then wipe away any
remaining moisture.
• Neutral detergent may be used to remove stubborn dirt. Then rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe away any remaining moisture.
Cleaning the negative ion
generator
Follow the steps below when the
generator has become dirty.
For safety, be sure to turn the air
conditioner off and also to disconnect
the power before cleaning.
Remove the dust on the negative ion
generator.
•
Use a toothbrush, etc. to dust off the end.
• Use a cotton swab, etc., to clean around
the generator inside the plastic case,
taking care not to touch the electrodes.
• During use, the negative ion generator and other metal parts may become
discolored: this is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning.
• If the dirt on and around the negative ion generator is left to build up, a puffing or
sputtering sound will eventually be heard. In this case, clean the generator immediately.
• Do not apply excessive force while performing maintenance.
