2. Slide the air filter up and out the top of the front panel.

3. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with mild detergent.

Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry filter thoroughly before replac- ing to ensure maximum efficiency.

4. Slide the air filter back down into opening in the top of the front panel.

5. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.
