CONDENSING UNIT
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PARTS ON THE UNIT.
The condensing unit coil and filter must be cleaned regularly on self-contained models for
optimal performance. The operating environment will affect the required frequency of cleaning.
However, both should be cleaned a minimum of once every three months. Air must be able to
freely circulate through the condenser. Unit performance and operating efficiency are
significantly affected by the amount of air passing through the condenser. Condenser fins that
are clogged with dirt and debris greatly reduce required airflow.
Failure to keep the coil fins
and the air filter clean may cause premature compressor failure, which will not be
covered by warranty. (On models that contain filters, operating unit without filter will
void warranty).
The condensing unit is located behind the louvered panel in the compressor compartment.
Remove louvered panel by pulling on the bottom then lifting up and out. Remove rear access
panel located in the back of unit. A phillips head screwdriver is required to remove rear access
panel. Carefully clean dirt and lint from the condenser coil using a vacuum cleaner or soft
brush; do not use a wire brush.
The filter is located behind the louvered panel, below the condensing unit in the compressor
compartment. Remove filter by carefully sliding out of the tracks. Carefully clean with vacuum
or rinse with hot water exercising care not to bend or damage filter frame. Replace filter by
carefully sliding it into the tracks. Replace louvered panel by installing top of panel into track and
pushing in the bottom so that the locking clips fit inside the opening. Replace rear access
panel. Reconnect electrical supply.
Replacement filters are available through Kairak Parts and Service Department at
714-870-8661.
EVAPORATOR COILS
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PARTS ON THE UNIT.
Evaporator coils should be cleaned every six (6) months for optimal performance.
The evaporator coils are located in the storage cabinet behind the coil can cover. With a phillips
head screwdriver, remove four screws and take off cover. Clean evaporator coils with a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush, do not use a wire brush. Replace coil can cover. Reconnect
electrical supply.
