CARE AND CLEANING

Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new and to minimize dust build up.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles and dust can build up in the filter and may decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air filter:

1.Remove the filter by pulling down on the in- dents of the filter door on the front of the unit. (See FIG. 13)

2.Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen- tly shake the filter to remove excess water.

3.Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air conditioner.

4.If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles.

Wear and Tear

To minimize wear and tear on the air condi- tioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before changing modes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.

Winter Storage

To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for an extended period of time, remove it care- fully from the window according to the installation instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in the original box.

Cabinet Cleaning

To clean the air conditioner cabinet:

￿￿Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil- free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth 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.

Energy Saving Ideas

￿￿Do not block the 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 receives the least amount of sun exposure.

￿￿Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape.

￿￿Keep blinds and drapes closed for cooling and open for heating.

￿￿Clean the air filter as recommended in the “care and cleaning” section.

￿￿Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help limit cool air loss.

￿￿External house shading with trees, plants, or awnings helps reduce the air conditioner’s work load.

￿￿Operate heat producing appliances during the coolest part of the day. Such as a dish- washer, oven, or computer.
