of operation. Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm
water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
COILS AND BASE PAN
The indoor coil (evaporator coil), the outdoor coil (condenser
coil) and base pan should be inspected periodically
(yearly or bi-yearly) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt,
leaves, paper, etc.). Clean the coils and base pan with a soft
brush and compressed air or vacuum. If using a pressure
washer, be careful not to bend the aluminium fin pack. Use

items. Allow all items to dry thoroughly before reinstalling
them.
ELECTRONIC / ELECTRICAL / MECHANICAL
Periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly): inspect all control
components: electronic, electrical and mechanical, as well as
the power supply. Use proper testing instruments (voltmeter,
ohmmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, etc.) to perform electrical
tests. Use an air conditioning or refrigeration thermometer
to check room, outdoor and coil operating temperatures.
Use an electronic tester to measure wet bulb temperatures
indoors and outdoors.
