Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. 

Be sure to unplug the

unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
• Remove filter by sliding out from the right-hand side.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thor-

oughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before
replacing.

• Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and

front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution
of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess

water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

• Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the
window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the
original carton.

Care and Cleaning

Energy Saving Ideas

• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,

enclosures, or other buildings.

• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory

operation.

• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north

is best because it is shaded most of the day.

• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the

chimney and into the duct work.

• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”
• Proper insulation and 

weather

 stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool 

air 

in.

• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s

work load.

• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers

during the coolest part of the day.
