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.

Removal and Cleaning of the Air Filters

If the air filters become clogged with dust/dirt, air flow is restricted and reduces cooling efficiency. The air filters should be cleaned every two (2) weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending upon air quality. NOTE: The air filter (filter 1) is located at the (upper) rear side of the unit. In order to access the air intake filter (filter 2), the air intake hose and collar will have to be removed.

1b) To remove the air intake filter (Fig. 35): Simply tilt the filter handle upwards and pull

out the filter basket. (Fig. 36).

2)Dust/Dirt clogged in the filter can be removed by vacuum cleaning the soiled areas.

3)The filter can also be washed in lukewarm soapy water while rubbing it lightly with a brush. A mild detergent (dishwashing soap) is recommended.

4)Rinse the filter well using clean water. Allow time to dry before reinstalling into the unit.

5)Replace the air filters.
