How to Operate Your KStar® Room Air Conditioner
Care and Maintenance
Grille and Case
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot they may be professionally steam cleaned, a service available through a dealer.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks or more often if necessary.
The grille is designed to clean the filter both upward and downward.
• To Remove the Filter
1. Remove the front cover by gripping the top outside edges and pulling toward you.
You will notice that the grille will only open to about a 56° angle. Do not force the grille open too far.
2.Find the two clips that hold the grille in place. Gently lift the filter out.
• To Clean the Filter
1. Clean with warm (104°F or 40°C) water. Be sure to shake all water off before replacing the filter.
2. Carefully position the filter, bottom first, and snap back into place.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
Drainage
In humid weather, excess water may cause the BASE PAN to overflow. To drain the water, remove the DRAIN CAP and secure the DRAIN PIPE to the rear hole of the BASE PAN.
