Cleaning Air Filters (18K)
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.
1. The air filter is on the top of the air conditioner.
2. Hold both side of the top filter in the place marked with
PULL
, then
pull it upwards.
3. If the filter has small air freshening filters, unclip them from the larger
filter. Clean these air freshening filters with a hand-held vacuum.
4. Clean the large air filter with warm, soapy water. Be sure to use a
mild detergent.
5. Rinse the filter with fresh water, then shake off any excess water.
6. Dry the filter in a cool, dry place, and refrain from exposing it to
direct sunlight.
7. When dry, re-clip the air freshening filter to the larger filter, then
install it back on the indoor unit.

Before changing the filter or cleaning, turn off the unit and
disconnect its power supply.
When removing the filter, do not touch metal parts in the unit. The
sharp metal edges can cut you.
Do not use water to clean the inside of the indoor unit. This can
destroy insulation and cause an electrical shock.
Do not expose filter to direct sunlight when drying. This can shrink
the filter.
