CARE
AND CLEANING
Grille and Case
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the
wall outlet before cleaning. To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach or abrasives.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked
and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if
necessary.
To remove:
Slide the filter from the left side of the unit. Remove the
filter.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the
filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a
dishwasher.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter
because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should
be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot,
they may be professionally cleaned.
Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing
outdoor conditions. It must not be used when the outdoor
temperature is below freezing (32°F).
