MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps to
remove dust, lint and other particles from the air. A clean filter is
also essential to maximize the cooling and operating efficiency of
the air conditioner.
1.
Turn the unit off and unplug the unit.
2.
The air filter is located behind the air outlet front upper louvers.
3. To remove the air filter :
using the levers, move
completely the left louver to the left and the right louver to the
right ; then move both louvers down in order to clear the opening. Using the filter tabs,
slide the air filter up.
4.
Gently clean with a vacuum cleaner or wash the filter in warm soapy water. Rinse well and
let it dry completely before putting it back.
5.
Put the filter back in place and reposition the louvers.
NOTE :
• A dirty air filter reduces air volume. We recommend to clean the air filter every two weeks,
or more frequently if there are animals around.
• Never run the air conditioner without the air filter.
• Do not clean the air filter in the dishwasher, nor use chemical products or abrasive detergents.
CLEANING THE HOUSING

STORAGE
1.
Set the air conditioner to fan mode for about 3 hours to completely dry out the inside of the unit.

3.

4.
Store the unit upright in a clean and dry area.
5.
It is recommended to store the unit in its original packing box.
6.
If the unit is installed permanently, during winter protect it with a heavy-duty cover ; it will
reduce air drafts, as well as paint and finish damages.
When the air conditioner is in good working conditions, it may produce the following noises
or vibrations:
• Pinging or clicking noise caused by water dropping on the condenser.
• The relay clicking when the compressor cycles on and off.
• Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
• Vibrations or noises due to poor wall or window construction.
Always turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electrical shock.
