Instructions

It is necessary to clean your air filter and front panel properly for top performance and cleaner air.

Cleaning the front panel

1.Unplug the power cord.

2.Remove the front panel from the cabinet for easy cleaning. Remove the screws from the bottom edge of the front panel. Lift the front panel up and towards you. See Figure 7.

3.Remove the air filter and clean it separately if needed. (See “Cleaningthe slide-out air filter” on page 14.)

4.Using a soft cloth, clean the front panel with warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the control panel with a soft, dry cloth.

5.Replace the front panel and screws.

6.Plug in the power cord.

Repairing paint damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This may occur, especially in salty environments (near oceans, etc.) 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 on your air conditioner’s cabinet. For information on ordering a heavy-duty cover see page 26.
