Cleaning and Maintenance
To avoid electric shock, turn off the air conditioner and disconnect from power
before cleaning. Do not wash or douse the air conditioner with water. Never use
abrasive or flammable solvents to clean the air conditioner.
Cleaning the outer case
Wipe with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a mild detergent, if needed.
Cleaning the exhaust hose
Remove the exhaust hose from the air conditioner and clean with a soft cloth
soaked in warm water. Let dry completely before reinstalling.
Cleaning the filter
1. Remove the filter
Locate the filter and remove it from the air conditioner. You may need to move
the filter around to loosen.
2. Clean the filter
After removing, use the dust attachment of your vacuum to suck up any dirt or
warm water mixed with a mild detergent. A soft bristle brush may help remove
some of the dirt, if needed.
3. Reinstall the filter
After the filter has dried completely, reinstall back into the air conditioner.
Notes:
● Clean the filter at least every three months.
● Do not touch the metal fins in the air conditioner after removing the filter
as they may cause personal injury.
● Do not attempt to dry the filter with a hairdryer or other heating elements
as this may deform or ignite the filter.
● Do not operate the air conditioner if the air filter is missing.
