MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Unplug and/or disconnect all electrical power to the unit before performing inspections, maintenances or service.

Failure to do so could result in electric shock, serious injury or death.

Cleaning the air filter

If the air filter is blocked with a lot of dust, the air flow volume will be reduced. Clean the filter once every two weeks.

Open and clean the air filter:

1.Pull the filter out as shown in the drawing.

2.Take out the air filter from the filter cover.

3.Wash the air filter by immersing it gently into warm (about 40°C or 104°F) water with a neutral detergent or vacuum the filter clean.

4.Rinse the filter and dry it thoroughly in a shaded place.

5.Install the air filter back to its original place.

Cleaning the air conditioner

Clean the surface of the unit with a damp cloth, then dry us- ing a duster or similar.

Do not use chemical solvent (like benzene or alcohol) to clean the surface of the unit. If you do so, the surface may be scratched, damaged or even cause the case to become deformed.

Prior to operating seasons

1.Check to ensure that the air inlets and outlets of the unit are not blocked.

2.Make sure that air filter is properly in place before operat- ing the machine. If the machine is operated with air filter removed, dust and foreign objects will result in faulty per- formance of the air conditioner.

Preparation for storage

1.Turn off the air conditioner, disconnect the power.

2.Perform proper maintenance to the air filter and other parts.

3.Open the base stopper to drain out all of the water from the base. Operating the unit in fan only mode for 12 hours will help ensure there is no moisture within the unit.
