Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
To remove (on some models):
Grasp the tab and gently pull the filter up and out.
To remove (on some models):
Open the inlet grille downward by pulling out the upper corners of the inlet grille.
Using the tab, push down on the filter to release it and pull it out.

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
