CONDENSING UNIT

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS ON THE UNIT.

The condensing unit coil and filter must be cleaned regularly on self-contained models for optimal performance. The operating environment will affect the required frequency of cleaning. However, both should be cleaned a minimum of once every three months. Air must be able to freely circulate through the condenser. Unit performance and operating efficiency are significantly affected by the amount of air passing through the condenser. Condenser fins that are clogged with dirt and debris greatly reduce required airflow. Failure to keep the coil fins and the air filter clean may cause premature compressor failure, which will not be covered by warranty. (On models that contain filters, operating unit without filter will void warranty).

The condensing unit is located behind the louvered panel in the compressor compartment. Remove louvered panel by pulling on the bottom then lifting up and out. Remove rear access panel located in the back of unit. A phillips head screwdriver is required to remove rear access panel. Carefully clean dirt and lint from the condenser coil using a vacuum cleaner or soft brush; do not use a wire brush.

The filter is located behind the louvered panel, below the condensing unit in the compressor compartment. Remove filter by carefully sliding out of the tracks. Carefully clean with vacuum or rinse with hot water exercising care not to bend or damage filter frame. Replace filter by carefully sliding it into the tracks. Replace louvered panel by installing top of panel into track and pushing in the bottom so that the locking clips fit inside the opening. Replace rear access panel. Reconnect electrical supply.

Replacement filters are available through Kairak Parts and Service Department at

714-870-8661.

EVAPORATOR COILS

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS ON THE UNIT.

Evaporator coils should be cleaned every six (6) months for optimal performance.

The evaporator coils are located in the storage cabinet behind the coil can cover. With a phillips head screwdriver, remove four screws and take off cover. Clean evaporator coils with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush, do not use a wire brush. Replace coil can cover. Reconnect electrical supply.
