Carry-On 7000 Portable Air Conditioners • Cleaning & Storage
For more stubborn cases: You may soak the Hatch Bag or
the Storage Cover for approximately twenty minutes in a
solution of no more than 1/2 cup (4 oz.) CLOROX
® and 1/4
cup IVORY or LUX SOAP per gallon of warm water. Rinse
thoroughly in cold water to remove all of the soap.
NOTE: Excessive soaking in CLOROX can deteriorate
sewing threads. This method of cleaning may remove part of
the water repellency and the fabric should receive an
application of a marine water repellent treatment such as
3M
® 303 waterproofing.
Storing Instructions
The Carry-On Hatch Bag and Storage Cover should be
cleaned, allowed to dry and stored in a dry, well-ventilated
area.
When storing the Carry-On unit for long periods of time, it is
advisable to purchase the Storage Cover (accessory), cover
it with plastic or return it to the original carton. STORE IN
OPERATING POSITION in a dry place. These precautions
will prevent the accumulation of dust and airborne particles
from lowering the efficiency of future performance or
necessitating more frequent cleaning.
Cleaning Instructions
Clean the Carry-On occasionally to keep it looking new and
operating properly. Be sure to unplug the Carry-On before
cleaning.
Air Filter
Remove filter. (See Figure 4.) Gently wash by hand in a
solution of mild soap and warm fresh water. Allow water to
drain and reinstall. Extra filters may be ordered from your
dealer.
Cabinet
Wash with mild soap and fresh water. For tougher stains or
scuffs, SOFT SCRUB
® may be used. Though Carry-On is
designed for adverse conditions, do not intentionally spray
water directly into air slots.
Care of Hatch Bag and Storage Cover*
The Hatch Bag and Storage Cover are made out of a fabric
called SUNBRELLA, and should be cleaned regularly
before substances such as dirt, dust, etc. are allowed to
accumulate on it and become embedded in the fabric.
Regular Cleaning: The fabric can be cleaned by simply
brushing it off with a clean brush. It may also be hosed
down and cleaned with a mild solution of a natural soap
such as LUX
® or IVORY LIQUID ® in lukewarm water (not to
exceed 100 degrees F.) Rinse thoroughly to remove soap.
Do not use detergents!
*The Storage Cover is an optional accessory which was intended to cover the entire Carry-On and help protect it from dirt and
dust while being stored away from the boat.
