Care and Cleaning

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent 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.

￿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.

￿Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner for the winter, cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.

NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged, store air conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.

Energy Saving Ideas	￿	Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or
		outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
	￿ The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient
		and satisfactory operation.
	￿ Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window
		that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
	￿ Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not
		escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
	￿	Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of
		the day.
	￿ Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”
	￿ Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm
		air out and cool air in.
	￿	External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the
		air conditioner's work load.

￿ Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
