remove the plug from the wall
outlet before cleaning.

Grille & Cabinet

Wipe both sides of grille with a
clean cloth lightly dampened with
mild liquid 

 detergent,

or clean with a vacuum cleaner
brush. Be careful not to force the
movable louvers out of position.

Other areas behind the grille may
be wiped or vacuumed, taking care
not to damage the coil fins.

Wash cabinet with mild soap or
detergent and lukewarm water.
Never use strong chemicals,
solvents or bleaching agents.

Condenser Coils

These coils on the weather side
of the unit should be checked
periodically and cleaned if clogged
with dirt or soot from the atmosphere.
If extremely soiled, they may need
to be steam cleaned.

 

The air filter behind the front grille
should be checked 

 cleaned at

least every 30 days or as often as it

Grasp the tab at the bottom left side
of the unit and pull downward.

Clean the filter with a vacuum
cleaner to remove light dust. Wash
the filter in lukewarm, soapy water
and rinse in clear water to remove
sticky dust.

When replacing the filter, be sure
the word FRONT is facing you as
you slide the 

 back into place.

 

 Removal

If your air conditioner is mounted
flush inside the room or if the
window sill extends further into the
room than the chassis, it may be
necessary to remove the front grille
before the filter can be removed.

To remove the grille:

1. Grasp the bottom of the grille

and swing it toward you about 10
degrees.

2. Slide the grille upward to free the
three tabs at the top of the grille
from slots in the top of the cabinet.

The air filter can now be removed
from the grille–grasp the tab on the

 and pull.

After cleaning, replace the air 

 grille, hooking top of grille

onto top of cabinet 

 pushing

bottom of grille in until it snaps
into place.
