Performing annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual mainte- nance to ensure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call the service com- pany recommended by your dealer to:
l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages.
l Check fan.
The compressor and fan motor are sealed and need no oiling. The expense of an annual inspection is the consumer’s responsibility.

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