Maintenance
Clean the air conditioner and pre-filter regularly to maximize performance and efficiency, and to
prolong the unit’s life. Be sure to always unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet before
cleaning.
Cleaning the Unit
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the body of the air conditioner clean. If necessary, use lukewarm
water to dampen a cloth to clean the unit. Use a soft bristle brush to clean between the vents.
Carefully use a vacuum cleaner to clean the condenser coils.
Never use abrasive chemicals, volatile substances, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated
cloths, or other cleaning solvents that may damage the cabinet exterior.
Never spray water directly on the unit.
Cleaning the Pre-filter
Your portable air conditioner ships with a pre-filter that will help remove contaminates from the
air. It is recommended that you clean the filter after every 100 hours of operation. Depending on
the environment in which the unit is operating, it may be required to clean the filter more often.
Follow the steps below to clean the pre-filter:
1. Unplug the unit from power.
2. Remove the pre-filter by sliding it out of the back left side of the unit.
3. Use a vacuum or tap the pre-filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt, then wash the filter
in a solution of liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water (below 104° F).
4. Rinse the filter thoroughly and gently shake off the excess water.
5. Allow the filter to air dry in a cool, shaded place. Be sure the filter is completely dry before
replacing it.
6. After drying, reinstall the filter into the back of the unit.
Caution: Never operate the air conditioner without the pre-filter attached.
