Cleaning the unit

Cleaning the unit

Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the body clean. If necessary, use lukewarm

 

water to dampen a cloth to clean the unit.

 

Use a soft bristle brush to clean between the vents.

 

Carefully use a vacuum cleaner to clean the condenser coils

 

Never use abrasive chemicals, volatile substances, gasoline, detergents,

 

chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning solvents that may damage the

 

cabinet exterior.

 

Never spray water directly on the unit.

 

 

 

Cleaning the pre-filters

Clean the pre-filters periodically to prolong the unit’s life, and keep

 

the unit running efficiently. Lint, dust, and dirt can clog the unit and

 

reduce its performance and effectiveness. If the unit is used in a

 

dusty environment you may need to clean it on a weekly basis.

 

To clean the pre-filters, follow the steps below:

 

1) Power off the unit and remove the pre-filters.
