Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure top performance throughout
the year.
Call your local authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense of an annual
inspection is your responsibility. OR
If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself.
If you choose to do so, follow these steps:
1.Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.
2.Remove air conditioner from window.
3.Remove front panel (See "Cleaning the front panel" on page 9).
4.Slide curtains out to fullest width. From the back side, remove the Phillips-head screws
which attach curtains to cabinet (A).
5.Remove slotted-hex head screws (B) from top channel and from sides of cabinet (C).
NOTE: Do not lift, push, or pul on any expanded polystyrene from inside the air conditioner.
6.Holding cabinet on both sides, carefully lift cabinet off base. Watch out for sharp metal fins
on the front and rear coils.
7.Wrap fan motor (D), capacitor terminals (E), electrical control box (F), and compressor
terminals (G) in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid gets inside any of these
parts. It could damage the insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.
8.Carefully clean and hose out base (H), condenser coil (I), evaporator coil (J), and con-
densate pan (K). Clean at least once a year or more often if the condenser and evapora-
tor coils and pan collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect an
odor coming from the air conditioner.
9.Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.
10. After replacing cabinet on air conditioner, reattach top channel, side curtains,front pan-
els and tighten all screws.
NOTE: Wait 24 hours before starting air conditioner. This allows time for all relevant parts to
dry out.
11 .Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.
