4.Remove side curtains. Slide curtains out to fullest width. From the back side, remove the phillips-head screws which attach the curtains to the cabinet. (See A in illustration at left.)

5.Remove slotted-hex head screws holding top channel. (See B in illustration at left.)

6.Remove slotted-hex head screws on sides of cabinet. (See C in illustration at left.)

7.Holding the cabinet on both sides, carefully lift cabinet off unit base. Watch out for the sharp metal fins on the front and rear condenser coils.

8.Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and compressor terminal box in plastic film to make sure no water or other liquid gets inside. Water or other liquids could damage insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.

9.Clean and hose out the base, coils, and condensate pans. Clean at least once a year, or more often if the condenser coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor coming from the air conditioner. Do not use the collected water for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.

10.Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

11.Replace air conditioner in cabinet. Reattach top channel and side curtains.

12.Reinstall air conditioner in window.

13.Replace front panel.

14.Plug in power cord.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the unit again. This allows time for all areas to dry thoroughly. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.
