Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean
filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from
the air and is important for best cooling and operating
efficiency. Check the filter every 2 weeks to see
whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not operate the air conditioner without the
filter in place.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.

the top or sides of filter door and sliding air filter up

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If air filter

detergent. Do not wash air filter in the dishwasher or
use any chemical cleaners. Air dry filter completely
before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
