5. Air Filter
As the air filter becomes clogged with dirt or dust, the unit’s performance will be reduced. Do not operate the unit with the air filter removed. This will accelerate clogging of the condenser and result in failure. Check the filter at least twice each month. If it is dirty, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter. To avoid damaging the air filter, do not use water hotter than 104°F (40°C). The filter is located behind the front panel. This filter can be removed by opening the front panel and lifting the filter away from the condenser. Reinstall the filter after cleaning.
