Air Filter Cleaning
Cabinet Cleaning
Winter Storage
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.
• Push the vent handle to the closed position (where applicable).
• Open the front panel.
• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• 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.
• 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.
