5. Care and Cleaning
•
Cleaning the filters
– Clean the filters using a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, tap the filters against a solid object to
knock off dirt and dust.
– If the filters are especially dirty, wash them in lukewarm water. Take care to rinse off any detergent thoroughly and
allow the filters to dry completely before putting them back into the unit.
CAUTION
– Do not dry the filters in direct sunlight or by using a heat source, such as an electric heater: this may
warp them.
– Do not wash the filters in hot water (above 122 °F [50 °C]), as this may warp them.
– Make sure that the air filters are always installed. Operating the unit without air filters can cause
malfunction.
CAUTION
– Before you start cleaning, stop operation and turn OFF the power supply.
– Indoor units are equipped with filters to remove the dust of sucked-in air. Clean the filters using the
methods shown in the following sketches.

Filter removal
CAUTION
Caution:
– In removing the filter, precautions must be taken to protect your eyes from dust. Also, if you have to
climb up on a stool to do the job, be careful not to fall.
– When the filter is removed, do not touch the metallic parts inside the indoor unit, otherwise injury may
result.

Removal and replacement of filter
– Unscrew the two thumb knobs on the panel stamped “filter” tilt forward and pull the panel out. Grasp the edge of the
filter and slide out. Re-install in reverse. (see Fig A)
