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
Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position
(where applicable).
Open the front panel.
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
the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
Instead of washing, you may also vacuum the filter
clean.
NOTE: Never use hot water over 40°C (104°F) to clean
the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without
the air filter.
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 wiped with a cloth
dampened in solution of warm water and mild
dishwashing detergent. Then wipe clean and dry
thoroughly.
Never use harsh cleaners, 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.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter,
remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instruction. Cover it with plastic or return it
to the original carton.
CAUTION
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep I looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit
before cleaning to prevent chock or fire hazards.
