Annual Maintenance for Your Air Conditioner

Your air conditioner needs annual mainte- nance to help insure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passage.

lCheck fans and the fan motor. (The com- pressor is sealed and needs no oiling.)

Expense of annual inspection is customer’s responsibility.

Do-It-Yourself Maintenance

If you are familiar with electrical appliances you Ican do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you decide to go ahead, follow these steps.

1.Remove front panel. [See page 5 or refer to Installation Instructions.)

2.Pull control knobs straight off. Remove the control plate.

3.Remove the green ground wire. It is attach- ed with a screw located on the bottom left side under the control plate. (Save the screw to reattach wire.]

4.Pull out handle and slide air conditioner out of cabinet. NOTE: The air condi- tioner Is heavy and should be removed by at least two people.

5.Wrap the motor, electrical control box and compressor terminals box in plastic film and make sure no water or ofher liquid gets inside any of these parts. It would damage insulation and cause serious problems.

6.Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils

and condensate parts. Clean at least once a year, or more often if the condenser coil and base collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor coming from the air conditioner. (A good time to oil the motor is when you already have the cabinet open. See instructions that follow]

7.Remove plastic film from motor and elec- trical parts.

8.Replace unit in cabinet.

9.Reattach ground wire. Replace control plate and knobs.

10.Replace front panel.

NOTE: It is best to wait 24 hours before starting the unit again. This allows all areas to dry out. (The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these componenfs.)

Oiling The Fan Motor

1. Remove unit from cabinet. [Follow instruc- tions under “Do-It-YourselfMaintenance” or in Installation Instructions .)

2. Oil the fan motor per instructions on the motor. To add oil, remove the oil hole plug at each end of motor. An easy to use capsule of especially recommended oil (Part Number 10943) is available through your nearest Whirlpool Factory Service Center, or use SAE#20 non-detergent oil.
