Maintenance
Your Ice Air unit is designed to provide
many years of efficient, trouble-free comfort
conditioning service. To ensure equipment
longevity and efficiency, please make sure
that the following simple maintenance
procedures are followed. This manual
assumes that your unit has been installed
by a qualified installation professional, and
is operating properly prior to maintenance
service.
Have your unit periodically inspected by
a properly trained service professional or
building maintenance staff person. The unit
should be checked for the safe and proper
functioning of all of its systems at least
once a year. The following recommended
maintenance procedures should be carried
out only by trained personnel with strict
adherence to the Safety Guidelines outlined
at the beginning of this manual. These
procedures MUST be followed to ensure
your safety and the safety of the person
maintaining the equipment!
Roomside Component Cleaning

Power to the unit must
be turned off at the electrical breaker
before carrying out any of the following
cleaning!
To access the components within the chassis
of the unit:
1. Unit must be in OFF Position.
2. Disconnect unit from power source.
3. Remove the unit front cover/access door
by unscrewing the retaining screws
that hold it in place. You will then have
access to the unit components.
NOTE: Pictures of components and parts
may vary depending on your model.
Indoor Air Filter
All units are equipped with either a reusable
filter (shown abve) or a single dispensible
filter. The reusable filter is washable and it
is recommended you clean the filter after
every 350 to 400 hours of operation or at
the beginning of the heating and cooling
seasons. This should be performed more
frequently if the unit is running in an
environment of high dust, pet dander or
other pollutants in the indoor atmosphere.
The single dispensible filter is not washable
and it is recommended it gets replaced every
12 months. Please order a new filter from
your local sales rep.
Reusable Air Filter Maintenance
1. Remove Air Filter.
2. Wash with warm water using a
biodegradable cleaner.
3. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry
completely.
4. Replace Air Filter.
5. As an alternate cleaning method, the
filter may be cleaned on both sides using
a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush type
attachment.
IMPORTANT:
Do not operate unit without
filters.
Riser Drain
Check the unit’s riser drain (behind the filter
at the bottom of the drain pan) annually
for blockage. If any foreign matter build-up
in the riser drain is found, clean the riser
drain. The frequency of cleaning depends on
the level of dirt and pollutants that may be
present in the indoor environment.
Evaporator Motor and Blower Assembly
If there is evidence of dirt or dust build-up in
the evaporator motor or blowers, they should
be cleaned either by vacuum cleaning (if
working in an apartment) or by removing the
unit to a workshop location and cleaning with
compressed air.
p
!
WARNING:
Always obey safety
guidelines for using compressed air
in this latter case.
Your Ice Air unit has permanently lubricated
motor bearings that do not require additional
lubrication. Blowers and motors are factory
assembled for quiet performance – if there
is any excessive noise and vibration from this
assembly, it should be serviced by a qualified
technician.
