Maintenance
Clean the air conditioner and filters regularly to maximize
performance and efficiency, and prolong the unit’s life. Be sure to
always unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet before
cleaning to prevent injury or damage to person or property.
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 potentially cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
1.
Push the vent handle to the “vent closed” position.
2. Open the front panel.
3. Grasp the filter, pull up and out.
4. Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and
warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
5. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the
filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
6. You also have the option of cleaning the filter with a
vacuum.
Warning:
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 injury or
damage to person or property. The cabinet and front may
be dusted with an oil-free cloth or wiped with a damp
wash cloth. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet
front.
Be sure to wring out excess water from the cloth before
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the
controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
