●Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of neutral detergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before rein- stalling.
●If dust is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, airflow will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas- ing noise.
●During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be cleaned every two weeks.
●Don't operate the air conditioner with being opened the open panel.
●When used for extended periods, the indoor unit may accumulate dust inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the indoor unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service personnel.
●When cleaning the indoor unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 104 °F, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like benzene or thinner.
●Do not expose the indoor unit’s body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
●When shutting down the indoor unit for one month or more, first allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about
