CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
Clean air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking and operating like new.
Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
The air filter should be cleaned at least every two weeks or as
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
● Pull both sides (left and right) of the lower front panel up and then out to
remove the panel as shown in figures to the right.
● Remove the filter, as shown in bottom figure to the right.
● 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.
● As an alternative to washing the filter, vacuum the filter clean.
NOTE:
Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never
attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.
CABINET CLEANING
● 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 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 the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air
conditioner.
● Plug in air conditioner after unit has dried completely.
WINTER STORAGE
If air conditioner will be stored during the winter, remove it carefully from
the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or
return it to the original carton.
ALWAYS STORE UNIT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AND IN A COOL,
DRY LOCATION.
