CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING AND INTAKE GRILLE
If dust has accumulated on the unit, use a soft, dry dusting cloth to wipe it off. If grease
or other harder to remove substances is on the unit, use a wrung-out cloth dampened
with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean off the grille.
CLEANING THE FILTER
For energy efficient operation, your filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Units
in dusty environments may require more frequent filter cleaning.
• The filter removal handles are located on both sides of the unit (see "Getting to know
your air conditioner" diagram, number
F
above).
• Remove it by sliding it out.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or rinse the filter in
cold water. If the filter is particularly dirty
(such as grease buildup), wash and gently
scrub the filter in a bath of warm (not hot)
soapy water. Let the filter completely dry
in a shady place; exposing the filter to
direct sunlight can cause deformation.
• After the filter is clean and completely dry, re-insert the filter.
Note: To avoid deformation and fire risk, never dry the filter with a heat source, such as a
hair dryer, fireplace, or heater.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM / POSSIBLE CAUSES
THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL
• Is the power cable properly inserted into a functioning, grounded outlet?
• Is there a power failure such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
• Is the ambient temperature lower than 61°F (16°C)? A safety device prevents the unit
from cooling the room to even lower temperatures.
INSUFFICIENT COOLING
• Is the unit temperature set properly?
• Is the air filter dirty?
• Are doors or windows open?
• Is the room directly exposed to sunlight or are there other heat sources in the room?
• Are there a large number of people in the room?
