LONG-TERM STORAGE
Should you place your unit in long-term storage, perform all of the post-season checks
listed above and perform the following additional steps:
•
Wrap the electrical cord loosely around the unit.
•
Cover the unit with a sheet or cloth to prevent dust buildup inside during storage.
DISPOSAL INFORMATION
•
Most unit packaging materials are recyclable. Please dispose of them according to
local recycling guidelines.
•
If you wish to discard the unit, contact your local authorities for specific appliance
disposal instructions. If the unit is functional and in good repair, but you wish to
dispose of it, consider donating it to a local charity.
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING AND INTAKE GRILLE
If dust has accumulated on the unit, use a soft, dry dusting towel to wipe it off. If grease or
other harder to remove substances is on the unit, use a wrung-out cloth dampened with
warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean off the grille.
CLEANING THE FILTER
For energy efficient operation, your filter should be cleaned every three months. Units in
dusty environments may require more frequent filter cleaning.
•
The front filter cover rests on a bottom hinge and swings down. Open by using
pulls on either side of the cover.
•
Remove the filter by gently tugging on it.
•
Use a vacuum cleaner or run cold water onto the filter to clean it. If the filter is par-
ticularly dirty (such as grease buildup), wash and gently scrub the filter in a bath of
warm soapy water. Let the filter completely dry in a shady place; exposing the filter
to direct sunlight can cause deformation.
•
After the filter is clean and completely dry, re-insert the filter by pressing firmly
without forcing.
Note: To avoid deformation and fire risk, never dry the filter with a heat source, such as a
hair dryer, fireplace, or heater.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The air conditioner does not function at all
• Is the power cable properly inserted into a functioning, grounded outlet?
• Is there a power failure such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
• Is the timer set to "TIMER ON" mode? Disable the timer to immediately start op-
erations.
• Is the internal collection tank or partition drain full/blocked and the FULL light
illuminated? Empty the tank.
