MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING (contd.)
Cleaning Air Filter
This unit has one air filter. For best results and maximum performance, clean filter every
two weeks, or as required by environmental conditions.
CAUTION: Neglect or failure to regularly clean the filter will result in poor efficiency,
reduced performance, possible damage to the unit, and voiding your warranty.
1.
Press “POWER ON/OFF” button to stop unit if it is operating.
Unplug power cord from outlet.
2.
Locate filter pull tab on side of unit (closest to "POWER ON/OFF"
button). Carefully pull filter from side of unit.
3.
Place air filter on a flat, level surface so “dirty” side of filter
faces up. Using a brush or nozzle vacuum attachment, gently
vacuum “dirty” side of filter. Turn filter over and vacuum other
side. Use care not to damage or puncture the filter mesh. DO
NOT use brushes, brooms, or other course materials to clean
the filters.
4.
Hold air filter, “dirty” side down, under cool, running water. DO
NOT use hot water, harsh detergents, chemicals, solvents, gaso-
line or any other abrasive materials or household items to clean
the filters. Be sure to rinse all residue from the air filter mesh.
Carefully shake air filter to remove excess water. Allow air filter to
dry completely before reinstalling into unit.
WARNING: Forcing filter improperly into unit may cause damage to the filter section of
the cabinet. Repair due to improper filter installation is not covered
under warranty.
5.
Align tabs on bottom of filter with square holes in filter opening on
side of cabinet. Carefully replace filter. Filter will "snap" into place.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the unit without the air filter properly
installed.
