Annual Maintenance for Your
Air Conditioner
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help
insure steady, top performance throughout the year.
Call the service company recommended by your
dealer to:
• Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water
passages.
• Check fan and oil the fan motor.
(The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.)
Expense of annual inspection is customer’s
responsibility.
A caution
Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents. They may
damage the parts.

lint and other particles from the air. Check every two
weeks to see if filter needs cleaning.
