Air Filter(s) — Air filter(s) should be checked at least ev- ery 3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned when necessary. Table 1 indicates the correct filter size for your unit. See Fig. 4 for filter access door location.
To replace or inspect filters:
1.Lift up and remove filter access panel.
2.While holding filter, tilt upper filter rack.
3.Remove filters by pulling up and out toward you from the track.
4.Inspect or replace filters.
5.Return filters to filter track. Note direction of airflow arrows on filter frame.
6.Replace filter access panel.
If you have difficulty in locating your air filter, or if you have questions concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for instructions. When replacing your unit filters, always use the same size and type of filter that was originally supplied by the installer.
Units with outdoor air capability have a cleanable filter for the outdoor air. This filter should be checked annually and cleaned as necessary with steam or hot water and a mild deter- gent. Do not use throwaway filters in place of cleanable filters.
Never operate your unit without filters in place. Failure to heed this warning may result in damage to the blower motor and/or compressor. An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of efficiency and, in some cases, fire.
