TROUBLESHOOTING (18K)
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure proper operation of the unit.
Recommended maintenance intervals may vary depending on the installation
environment, e.g., dusty zones, etc. Refer to Table 1 on page 14.
Cleaning the Coil
Clean the coil at the beginning of each cooling season, or when necessary.
Use a vacuum cleaner or a long-bristle brush to avoid damage to the coil
fins.
Cleaning Air Filters (9K-12K)
Remove and clean the air filters once a month. A clogged air conditioner
can reduce the cooling efficiency of your unit, and can also be bad for
your health.
NOTE: If air filters show signs of excessive wear or are torn, they
must be replaced. Contact your local dealer for replacement
filters.

larger filter. Clean the air freshening filter with a hand-held vacuum.

mild detergent.
6. Rinse the filter with fresh water, then shake off excess water.
