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.
