CARE AND CLEANING
Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of
dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care
for your air conditioner properly.
Cleaning the Air Filters
The air filters are removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filters every 2
weeks to see whether they need cleaning.
NOTE: For best performance, do not operate the air conditioner
without the filters in place.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filters. If the
air filters are very dirty, wash them in warm
water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air filters in the
dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners; it may damage the
filters. Air dry the air filters completely before reinstalling to
ensure maximum efficiency.
