Care and Cleaning

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.

• Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed 

position (where applicable).

• Open the front panel.

• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up 

and out.

• 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 win-

dow according to the installation instruc-

tions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the

original carton.

• 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.
