Care and Maintenance
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.
CLEAING THE
AIR FILTER
IMPORTANT
DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the
air conditioner is left to operate without
the air filter, dust is not removed from the
room air and may result in machine
failure.
When the air inlet grill and cabinet are
dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below
40°C). Use of a mild detergent is recom-
mended.

ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE
The air filter is 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 filter every 2 weeks to see whether it
needs cleaning.
1. Turn off air conditioner.
2. Remove air filter in the right of the unit
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If air filter is very dirty, wash it
in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash air filter in the
dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry filter completely
before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
4. Replace air filter by sliding filter down into filter door and
closing filter door.
1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.
2. Clean front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry front panel completely.
4. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very important, espe-
cially in areas near oceans 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 heavyduty
cover over air conditioner cabinet. For information on ordering a
heavy-duty cover, see "Accessories."
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure steady, top
performance throughout the year. Call your local authorized dealer to
schedule an annual checkup. The expense of an annual inspection is your
responsibility.
