Care and Cleaning

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new.

Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent electric shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

•Tilt the Horizontal Louvers in the UP position, before pulling the filter out.

•Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.

•Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.

•Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Cabinet Cleaning

•Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

•Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.

•Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

•The cabinet front can be removed for more thorough cleaning. Refer to “Front Removal” in this manual.

•Clean the front in a sink using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

•Replace cabinet front. Replace the screws.

•Replace front panel (if applicable) and filter. Plug in air conditioner.
