filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from
the air and is important for best cooling and operating
efficiency. Check the filter every 2 weeks to see
whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not operate the air conditioner without the
filter in place.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.

the top or sides of filter door and sliding air filter up

detergent. Do not wash air filter in the dishwasher

install a heavy duty cover over the air conditioner
cabinet.
