Routine Maintenance

To ensure proper unit operation, the air ¿lters should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if conditions warrant. The unit must be turned off before the ¿lters are cleaned.

Lower front panel (See Figure 2). Use handle on ¿lter to Àex ¿lter up and out of retainer. Remove ¿lter from unit (See Figure 3). Clean ¿lter monthly or more frequently if needed. Refer to accessories section for ¿lter options.

Coils & Chassis

NOTE: Do not use a caustic coil cleaning agent on coils or base pan. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreaser. The use of harsh cleaning materials may lead to deterioration of the aluminum ¿ns or the coil end plates.

The indoor coil and outdoor coils and base pan should be inspected periodically (annually or semi-annually) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.) as necessary. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may be required. Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and compressed air or vacuum. A pressure washer may also be used, however, you must be careful not to bend the aluminum ¿n pack. Use a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminum ¿n pack when pressure cleaning coils.

NOTE: It is extremely important to insure that none of the electrical and/or electronic parts of the unit get wet. Be sure to cover all electrical components to protect them from water or spray.

Decorative Front

The decorative front and discharge air grille may be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent. Do NOT use solvents or hydrocarbon based cleaners such as acetone, naphtha, gasoline, benzene, etc., to clean the decorative front or air discharge grilles.

Use a damp (not wet) cloth when cleaning the control area to prevent water from entering the unit, and possibly damaging the electronic control.

Fan Motor & Compressor

The fan motor & compressor are permanently lubricated, and require no additional lubrication.

Wall Sleeve

Inspect the inside of the wall sleeve and drain system periodically (annually or semi-annually) and clean as required. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Clean both of these areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and ensure that the drain outlets are operating correctly. Check the sealant around the sleeve and reseal areas as needed.
