other chemicals to clean this unit ,as these
substances may cause damage to the finish and

Removal and Cleaning of the Air Filter

2) Pull the filter “out” then “up”. Fig. 34.

3) Dust/Dirt clogged in the filter can be removed by

vacuum cleaning the soiled areas.

4) The filter can also be washed in lukewarm soapy

water while rubbing it lightly with a brush. A mild
detergent (dishwashing soap) is recommended.

5) Rinse the filter well using clean water. Allow time

to dry before reinstalling into the unit.

6) Replace the air filter.

7) Replacement air filters are available through the

Customer Service Parts Department.

as this may result in damage to the unit.
