The air filter should be checked at least once a month to
see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter
can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
● Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position (where
applicable).
● Open the front panel.
● Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
● Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and
warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
● Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the
filter is thoroughly dry before replacing it back.
● You may also vacuum the filter clean rather than washing.
Note: Never use hot water over 40°C (104°F) to clean the
air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air
filter.
● Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or
fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an
oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a
solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
● Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet
front.
● Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around
the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter,
remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it
to the original carton.
