Air Filter(s) Ð Air ®lter(s) should be checked at least every 3 or 4 weeks and changed or cleaned when necessary. Table 1 indicates the correct ®lter size for your unit. See Fig. 4 for ®lter access door location.
To replace or inspect ®lters:
1.Lift up and remove ®lter access panel.
2.While holding ®lter, tilt upper ®lter rack.
3.Remove ®lters by pulling up and out toward you from the track.
4.Inspect or replace ®lters.
5.Return ®lters to ®lter track. Note direction of air¯ow ar- rows on ®lter frame.
6.Replace ®lter access panel.
If you have difficulty in locating your air ®lter, or if you have questions concerning proper ®lter maintenance, con- tact your dealer for instructions. When replacing your unit ®lters, always use the same size and type of ®lter that was originally supplied by the installer.
Units with outdoor air capability have a cleanable ®lter for the outdoor air. This ®lter should be checked annually and cleaned as necessary with steam or hot water and a mild detergent. Do not use throwaway ®lters in place of cleanable ®lters.
Never operate your unit without ®lters in place. Failure to heed this warning may result in damage to the blower motor and/or compressor. An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your unit can cause loss of ef- ®ciency and, in some cases, ®re.
