CONSOLE HYBRID WATER-COOLED AIR CONDITIONER (CHW)
8
FILTER
ICE AIR WCACs
are equipped with a washable/reusable
Aluminum Filter. It is recommended that you clean the indoor
air filter after every 350 to 400 hours of unit operation – more
frequently if the unit is running in an environment of high dust,
pet dander or other pollutants in the indoor atmosphere.
•
Filter inspection: The filter is located at
the bottom of your unit. To remove filter,
slide it out towards you.
•
To reinstall, place filter under the unit
and slide back into the filter rack.
FILTER CLEANING
To clean your filter, use lukewarm water with a biodegradable
cleaner. Rinse and allow to dry completely before reinstall-
ing in unit. (As an alternate cleaning method, the filter may
be cleaned on both sides using a vacuum cleaner with a soft
brush type attachment).
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT FILTER.
This practice will damage and/or seriously impair
the performance of your unit and could void your Warranty.
ROOMSIDE COMPONENT CLEANING
Evaporator Coil and Drain Pan / Drain Hoses
IMPORTANT NOTE: The power MUST be disconnected to the
unit before carrying out any of the following cleaning!
To access the components within the roomside section of
the unit, disconnect the power to the unit and then remove
the unit chassis front cover by unscrewing the #8 hex head
retaining screws that hold the front cover in place (use a ¼”
hex head driver). You will then have access to the following
components:
EVAPORATOR COIL
Check the coil for cleanliness and uniformity of fins. If the
coil is dirty, vacuum clean with a soft brush attachment.
This is the only form of cleaning that should be carried
out within an apartment. If the coil requires additional
cleaning, the unit must be removed from the apartment
and cleaned using compressed air and / or washed.
These operations MUST be carried out in a facility prop-
erly equipped to handle this type of work in a safe and
professional manner.
DRAIN PAN / DRAIN HOSE CLEANING
The condensate pan is located directly under the
evaporator coil. Check the visible section of the interior of
the drain pan for any buildup of dirt or condensate water.
Wash annually to remove all dirt build-up. Check
condensate drain pan for algae growth every 2 to 3
months. If algae growth is apparent, consult a water
treatment specialist for treatment. The application of
algaecide every 2 to 3 months will typically eliminate
algae problems.
DRAIN HOSE
Check drain hose for leaks and blockage to eliminate
potential problems.
