Annual maintenance

Annual maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure steady, top performance throughout the year.

Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

lInspect and clean the coils and conden- sate water passages.

l Check fan and fan motor.

The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling. The expense of an annual inspection is the customer’s responsibility.

OR

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

1.Unplug power cord.

2.Remove the air conditioner from the window channel frame and off of the support platform.

3.Remove the front panel. (See page 15.)

4.Remove the screws from the top and sides of the cabinet, and then remove the cabinet.

5.Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and compressor terminal box in plastic film to make sure no water or other liquid gets inside. Water or other liquids could dam- age the insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.

6.Clean and hose out the base, coils, and condensate pan. Clean at least once a year, or more often if the condenser coils and pan collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor coming from the air conditioner. Do not use the water collected in the air conditioner for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.

7.Remove the plastic film from the motor and electrical parts.

8.Reattach the cabinet with the screws. Replace the front panel, and reinstall the air conditioner.

9.Reconnect power supply.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug power cord from outlet before servicing.

Be sure no liquid gets into the motor, electrical control box, or compressor terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, electrical shock, or serious injury.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use 2 or more people to move and install air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the air conditioner again. This allows time for all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.
