Air Filter Cleaning
NOTE: Never use hot water over 104ºF (40ºC) to clean the air filter.
Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.
● 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 washed
with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
● Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
● Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage
to the air conditioner.
● Plug in air conditioner after unit has dried completely.
If air conditioner will be stored during the winter, remove
it carefully from the window according to the installation
instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original
carton. Always store unit in upright position.

CARE AND CLEANING
! CAUTION N
Clean air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking and operating like new. Be sure to
unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
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.
● Remove the filter by sliding out from the right-hand side.
● 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.
● As an alternative, vacuum the filter clean.
