!CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage.

When cleaning the front panel, do not use water hotter than 105_F (40.56_C) and do not pour water onto the fan coil. Do not use abrasive or petroleum based cleaners as they may damage the front panel.

!CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE/OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper unit operation.

Operating the system with dirty air filters may damage the indoor unit and could cause reduced cooling performance, intermittent system operation, frost build-up on indoor coil or blown fuses.

Periodic Maintenance

Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure proper operation of the unit. Recommended maintenance intervals may vary depending on the installation environment, e.g., dusty zones, etc. Refer to Table 1.

!CAUTION

CUT HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury. The coil fins are very sharp. Use caution when cleaning. Always wear safety protection.

Cleaning the Coil

Clean the coil at the beginning of each cooling season, or when necessary. Use a vacuum cleaner or a long-bristle brush to avoid damage to the coil fins.

Air Filters

Remove and clean the air filters once a month.

NOTE: If air filters show signs of excessive wear or are torn, they must be replaced. Contact your local dealer for replacement filters.

1.Open front panel on unit.

2.Pull filters down to remove.

3.Vacuum filters.

4.Clean with warm water.

5.Shake filter to remove excess water and dry thoroughly.

6.Replace filter by sliding into rack until filter snaps in place.

7.Close front panel on unit.

Indoor Unit Front Panel

To clean the front panel on the indoor unit, wipe the outside with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a mild liquid detergent can be applied and wiped off with a dry cloth.

Preparing for Extended Shutdown Period

Clean the filters and reposition them in the unit. Operate the unit in Fan only mode for 12 hours to dry all internal parts.

Turn main power supply off and remove batteries from the remote control.

System Operation Recommendations

The items outlined in the following list will help to assure proper system operation:

SReplace both remote control batteries at the same time.

SPoint the remote control toward the unit display panel when transmitting a command.

SKeep doors and windows closed while unit is operating.
