CARE AND CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Be sure to unplug the unit before
cleaning to prevent chock or fire hazards.
CAUTION
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 out from the right-hand side.
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.
Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Note:
Never use hot water over 40 C(104 F) to clean th e
ai r 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.
NEVER operate the air conditioner without the
air filter, as dust/dirt particles can contribute to
equipment failure.
