q Performing Annual Maintenance

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before doing any maintenance.

Do not drink water collected by the air conditioner.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, electrical shock, or sickness.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense of an annual inspection is your responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these steps:

NOTE: Do not lift, push, or pull on any expanded gray polystyrene from inside the air conditioner.

1.Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.

2.Remove the air conditioner from the window.

3.Remove the front panel (See “Cleaning the front panel” on page 14.)

4.Remove the side curtains. Slide curtains out to fullest width. From the back side, remove the Phillips-head screws which attach the curtain to the cabinet (A).

5.Remove slotted-hex head screws (B) holding top channel.

6.Remove slotted-head screws (C) on sides of cabinet.

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

8.Wrap the fan motor(D), capacitor terminals (E), electrical control box (F), and compressor terminals (G) in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid gets inside any of these parts. It could damage the insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.

9.Carefully clean and hose out the base (H), condenser coil (I), evaporator coil (J), and condensate pan (K). Clean at least once a year or more often if the condenser and evaporator coils and pan collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor coming from the air conditioner.

10.Remove the plastic film from the motor and electrical parts.

11.Replace the cabinet on the air conditioner and reattach the front panel, top channel and side curtains. Tighten all screws.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the air conditioner again. This allows time for all areas to dry out.

12. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.
