Cleaning Your Air Filter
A clogged air conditioner can reduce the cooling

your health. Make sure to clean the filter once
every two weeks.
1. Lift the front panel of the indoor unit. The
air filter is under the top air inlet grill.
2. Grip the tab on the end of the filter, lift it
up, then pull it towards yourself.
3. Now pull the filter out.
4. If your filter has a small air freshening filter,
unclip it from the larger filter. Clean this air
freshening filter with a hand-held vacuum.
5. Clean the large air filter with warm, soapy
water. Be sure to use a mild detergent.
