Maintenance Instructions

Annual maintenance

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before doing any maintenance.

Do not drink water collected by the air conditioner.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, electrical shock, or sickness.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure steady, top performance through- out the year.

Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

•Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages.

•Check fan.

The compressor and fan motor are sealed and need no oiling. The expense of an annual inspection is the customer’s responsibility.

OR

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these steps:

1.Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.

2.Remove the air conditioner from the sleeve. See pages 7-8.

3.Remove the front panel. See page 12.

4.Remove the screws from the top and sides of the cabinet, and then remove the cabinet. Watch out for the sharp metal fins on the front and rear condenser coils.

5.Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and compressor terminal box in plastic film to make sure no water or other liquid gets inside. Water or other liquids could damage the insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.

6.Clean and hose out the base, coils, and condensate pan. Clean at least once a year, or more often if the condenser coils and pan collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor coming from the air conditioner.

7.Remove the plastic film from the motor and electrical parts.

8.Reattach the cabinet with the screws. Replace the front panel, and reinstall the air conditioner in the sleeve.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the air conditioner again. This allows time for all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.

9.Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.

Energy saving tips

•Improve home insulation. Seal doors, windows, and close fireplace flue.

•Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of house. Add window awnings.

•Keep air filter clean. Do not block airflow with drapes or furniture.

•Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add to normal cooling load).

•Try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights, radios, televisions, and other appliances off when not needed.

•Keep heat registers and cool air returns closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t escape.

•Use a vent fan in cooking, laundry, or bathing areas to pull out heat and moisture near its source.
