Cleaning the air filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best cooling or heating and operating efficiency. Check the filter every 2 weeks to see if it needs cleaning. Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in place.

1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.

2. Slide the air filter up and out the top of the front panel.

3. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with mild detergent.

Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry filter thoroughly before replac- ing to ensure maximum efficiency.

4. Slide the air filter back down into opening in the top of the front panel.

5. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.

Cleaning the front panel

2.Remove the air filter and clean it separately.

4. Clean front panel with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Use a soft cloth.

5. Rinse control panel and dry thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

6. Insert top of panel into cabinet, then push bottom of panel into cabinet. Replace screws.

Repairing paint damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy-duty cover over air conditioner cabinet. For information on ordering a heavy-duty cover, see pages 19 and 20.
