CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
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 the filter by sliding it out from the right hand
side to the Vent Closed position (where applicable).
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and
warm water.
Rinse filter thoroughly.
Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the
filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
Note:
Instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.
Note:
Never use hot water over 40° C (104° F) to clean the air
filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.
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.
