3.Slide unit out of cabinet by using the handle in the center of the base flange, or unscrew unit from cabinet.
4.Wrap the motor, connector plug, electrical control box and compressor terminal box 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.
5.Carefully clean and hose out the base, condenser coil and condensate pans. Clean at least once a year or more often if the con- denser coil and pan collects dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor coming from the air conditioner.
