CARE AND CLEANING
Do not attempt to clean inside the unit by yourself.
Refer to the section “Care and Cleaning” in the Installation Instructions.
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.
Air intake and outlet side
(Indoor unit)
Clean the air intake and outlet side 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 air outlet side, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.
1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe
plastic parts 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.
3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned every
year. Consult your dealer or service center.
Air filter
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at regular
intervals when the filter indication (
) on the display of the remote controller (wired type)
shows that the filter needs cleaning. If the filter gets blocked, the efficiency of the air conditioner
drops greatly.
The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the environment in which the
unit is used.
