Care and Maintenance
Fan Motor
The fan motor is permanently lubricated. Additional
lubrication should never be applied. Contact an
authorized Amana Service Center if fan malfunctions in
any manner.
Annual Inspection
Have air conditioner inspected by an authorized Amana
dealer or service representative once a year. If operating
unit in a dusty climate or environment, remove chassis
from outer case and thoroughly clean unit more
frequently.
Oceanside or Corrosive Environments
Salt air and other corrosive environments may accelerate
aging of air conditioner. When operated in these
environments, unit should be removed from outer case
and completely cleaned at least once a year. Any
scratches or blisters on painted surfaces should be
sanded and repainted.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock, disconnect electrical power to unit
before attempting to service the unit.
Horizontal Insert
The horizontal insert (front grille) is removable, to
access air filter. To remove horizontal insert grasp
bottom center of insert, then lift up and pull out. Clean
insert and cabinet with a sponge and soapy water. After
cleaning, thoroughly remove all cleaner residue and
ensure unit is completely dry before reinstalling. Do not
use cleaners with abrasives or polishing compounds,
they may damage plastic surfaces.
CAUTION
!
To avoid damage to polycarbon components (like
the horizontal insert), do not use hydrocarbon based
cleaners. Hydrocarbon causes polycarbon to warp,
turn brittle, splinter or crack.
Air Filter
Each unit has a permanent, removable air filter. Air filter
should be inspected regularly (at least once a week
during continuous operation), and cleaned if necessary. It
can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or washed in
soapy water. If washed, filter should be thoroughly rinsed
and dried before it is reinstalled.
NOTE: Do not operate air conditioner without a filter.
