Care and Maintenance

CLEANING:

When cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to turn the SELECTOR knob to the OFF position and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

1)DO NOT use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean this unit, as these substances may cause damage to the finish and deformation of plastic parts.

2)Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water directly over any of the surface areas, as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.

AIR FILTER:

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, air flow is obstructed and reduces efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks.

AIR FILTER REMOVAL:

The air filter is located behind the air intake front grill. To remove the air filter, grasp the sides of the front grill and pull forward to open and access the filter.

To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedures. The air filter may be vacuumed or washed by hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly before re-installing.

CLEANING AIR FILTER:

1)Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment

2)Wash the filter in lukewarm water below 40°C (104°F): To get best results, wash with soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent.

3)Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly before re-installing.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the air conditioner is left to operate without the air filter, dust is not removed from the room air and may result in machine failure. When the air inlet grill and cabinet are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40°C). Use of a mild detergent is recommended.

END OF SEASON CARE:

1)Operate the fan alone for half a day to dry out the inside of the unit.

2)Turn off power and remove plug from wall socket.

3)Clean filter.

4)Store (covered) air conditioner in a dry location.

CAUTION: When installing and/or removing the air conditioner from the window, ensure that caution is taken to prevent it from falling backward. It is recommended that installation or removal of the air conditioner is done with assistance to prevent injury to persons or damage to the unit or property.
