The indoor coil and outdoor coils and base pan should be inspected pe- riodically (annually or semi-annually) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt. leaves, paper, etc.) as necessary. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may by required. Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and compressed air or vacuum. A pressure washer may also be used,

however, you must be careful not to bend the aluminium fin pack. Use a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminium fin pack when pressure cleaning coils.

NOTE: It is extremely important to insure that none of the electrical and/or electronic parts of the unit get wet. Be sure to cover all electrical components to protect them from water or spray.

Decorative Front
