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 Filter
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.
NOTE: For best performance, do not operate the air conditioner
without the filter in place.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If the
air filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with
a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air filter in the
dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners; it
may damage the filter. Air dry the air filter completely before
replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
