CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning the Intake Filters
1. Remove the intake filters.
1
Place fingers in grids on the front of the intake filters
and lift up.
2
Hold the intake filters level and pull them out.
2. Clean the intake filters.
Remove the dust from the intake filters by vacuuming or
washing them. After washing, allow the intake filters to
dry thoroughly in an area protected from sunlight.
●
Dust can be cleaned from the intake filters either with a
vacuum cleaner, or by washing the filters in a solution of
mild detergent and warm water. If you wash the filters,
be sure to allow them to dry thoroughly in a shady place
before reinstalling.
●
If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the intake filters, air
flow will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and
increasing noise.
●
During periods of normal use, the intake filters should be
cleaned every five weeks.
3. Install the intake filters.
Hang the edge of the intake filter on the body. Using this
as a support point, push forward to secure as shown in
the illustration.
When using the optional Air Cleaning Filter
●
Install the optional air cleaning filter set as instructed (installation instructions are furnished with the air cleaning filter set).
●
When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the
unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service
personnel.
●
When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 104 °F, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like
benzene or thinner.
●
Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
●
When shutting down the unit for one month or more, first allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half
day to allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.
