Normal Sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:

Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.

Air movement from the fan.

Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.

A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.

AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer for an annual checkup. Remember… the cost of this service call is your responsibility.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter every 2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in place.

1.Turn off the air conditioner.

2.Remove the air filter by sliding out from either side of the front panel.

3.Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If the air filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry the filter completely before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.

4.Replace the air filter by sliding the filter back into either side of the air conditioner.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1.Turn off the air conditioner.

2.Remove the air filter and clean it separately. See “Cleaning the Air Filter.”

3.Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.

4.Air dry the front panel completely.

Repairing Paint Damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy- duty cover over the air conditioner cabinet. For information on ordering a heavy-duty cover, see “Accessories.”

Annual Maintenance

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.
