CLEANING THE CASE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks;
depending on indoor air quality, more frequent
cleaning may be needed. A dirty air filter will
decrease airflow and reduce efficiency.
Do not operate the air conditioner without
the air filter in place.
Grasp the grip which
is in the center and
on the top of the filter
and pull out the filter
directly.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filter. If
the filter is heavily soiled, it can be washed
in warm water using a mild detergent.
Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot
water. Do not wash in a dish asher
Allow the filter to dry completely before
reinstalling.
Reinsert the filter, making sure that the
bottom of the filter is between the tabs and
the coil guard. Reinstall the filter cover,
making sure it clips into place.

are sharp!
