CARE
When cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to turn the SELECTOR knob to
the "OFF" position and disconnect the power cord from the electrical
outlet.
1) DO NOT use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or any other chemicals to
clean this unit, as these substances may cause damage to the finish
and deformation of plastic parts.
2) Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water directly over any of the
surface areas, as this will cause deterioration of electrical components
and wiring insulation.
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, air flow is obstructed and
reduces efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
The air filter is located behind the air intake front grill. To remove the air
filter, grasp the filter handle on the front of the gril and slide it out to the
right.
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedures. The air filter must
be vacuumed or washed by hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly before
re-installing.
CLEANING AIR FILTER:
1) Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment
2) Wash the filter in lukewarm water below 40°C (104°F): To get best
results, wash with soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent.
3) Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly before re-installing.
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 cabi-
net are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40°C). Use of a mild
detergent is recommended.
1) Operate the fan alone for half a day to dry out the inside of the unit.
2) Turn off power and remove plug from wall socket.
3) Clean filter.
4) Store (covered) air conditioner in a dry location.
When installing and/or removing the air conditioner from the win-
dow, ensure that caution is taken to prevent it from falling
backward. It is recommended that installation or removal of the air
conditioner is done with assistance to prevent injury to persons or
damage to the unit or property.
