CLEAING
AIR FILTER
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.
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 filter handle on the front of the gril and slide it out to the right.
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedures. The air filter must be vacuumed or washed by hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly before

3)Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly before
IMPORTANT
END OF SEASON CARE
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 cabi- net are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40°C). Use of a mild detergent is recommended.
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.
