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 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.  

Normal Sounds 

  High Pitched Chatter-High efficiency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the 

cooling cycle. 

  Sound of Rushing Air-At the front of the unit, you may hear the sound of rushing air being 

moved by the fan. 

  Gurgle/Hiss-Gurgling or Hissing noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through the 

evaporator during normal operation. 

  Vibration-The unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall or window construction or 

incorrect installation. 

  Pinging or Switching-Droplets of water hitting the condenser during normal operation may 

cause these sounds.

If any of the codes found below should appear on the display of the air conditioner please turn the
