to help ensure steady, top performance through

your dealer to:

need no oiling. The expense of an annual
inspection is the customer’s responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you

can do the inspection and maintenance yourself.

If you choose to do so, follow these steps;

NOTE:

Do not lift, push, or pull any white beaded

foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

Unplug power cord.

panel and air filter" on page 5.)

out for the sharp metal fins on the front and
rear coils.
