CARE AND CLEANING
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned at least every two weeks or as
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
NOTE: Never use hot water over 104 F (40 C) 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 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 the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner after unit has dried completely.
If air conditioner will be stored 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.
Always store unit in upright position.
