CARE AND CLEANING
Casing and Grille (Indoor Unit)
Clean the casing and grille of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner
brush, or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild
liquid detergent. When cleaning the grille, be careful not to force the
vanes out of place.
Filter
The filter behind the front panel should be checked and cleaned at
least once every two weeks.
How to remove the filter
1.
Grasp both ends of the front panel and pull forward and up to
open the front panel.
2.
Lift the filter up slightly to disengage it from the protrusions on the
unit.
3.
Pull downward to remove the filter from the unit.
Cleaning
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If there is sticky dust on
the filter, wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy water, rinse it in clean
water, and dry it.
How to replace the filter
1.
Insert the top of the filter, and then secure the bottom of the filter
with the protrusions on the unit.
2.
Close the front panel by pushing the center of the front panel and
then pressing both edges until the panel clicks into place.
Cleaning the main unit and Remote Controller
• Wipe clean using a soft, dry cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt, moisten a cloth in warm water no hotter
than 104 °F, wring thoroughly, and then wipe.
• The front panel can be removed in order to wash it with water.
Removing and remounting the front panel
Removing
Open the front panel until it is nearly horizontal, grasp the sections
near the front panel arms on both sides, and then remove the panel
by pushing the arms towards the outside while pulling the panel
towards you.
If the front panel is difficult to remove, grasp both ends of it and lift it
up slightly.
Move it to the left and disengage the left arm, then move it to the
right and disengage the right arm.
Remounting
Grasp the sections near the front panel arms on both sides, and
hold the front panel so that it is nearly horizontal. Push the arm
shafts towards the outside so that they come into contact with the
top of the indentations on the right and left sides of the air
conditioner. Then push firmly until the arm shafts click into place.
After closing the front panel, press firmly on the parts indicated by
the arrows to securely fasten the panel in place.
Also refer to the figure that shows “How to replace the filter”.
Washing the front panel with water
• Clean the front panel gently using a soft sponge, or the like. Then
wipe away any remaining moisture.
• Neutral detergent may be used to remove stubborn dirt. Then rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe away any remaining moisture.
1.
For safety, be sure to turn the air
conditioner off and also to
disconnect the power before
cleaning.
2.
Do not pour water on the indoor unit
to clean it. This will damage the
internal components and cause an
electric shock hazard.
1.
Never use solvents, or harsh
chemicals when cleaning the indoor
unit. Do not wipe the plastic casing
using very hot water.
2.
Some metal edges and the fins are
sharp and may cause injury if
handled improperly; be especially
careful when you clean these parts.

The internal coil and other
components of the outdoor unit
must be cleaned every year. Consult
your dealer or service center.
