CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
When cleaning the air conditioner be sure to 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 fi nish 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.
AIR FILTER
If the air fi lter becomes clogged with dust, air fl ow is obstructed and reduces effi ciency. The air fi lter should be cleaned
every 2 weeks.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
The air fi lter is located behind the air intake front grill. To remove the air fi lter, grasp the fi lter tab on the right side of the
grill and slide it out to the right. If your air intake front grill has 2 indents, put the grill forward and remove the air fi lter.
To reinstall the air fi lter, reverse the above procedures. The air fi lter must be vacuumed or washed by hand in warm water.
Dry thoroughly before re-installing.
CLEANING AIR FILTER:
1. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
2. Wash the fi lter in lukewarm water below 40°C (104°F). To get best results, wash with soapy water or a neutral clean-
ing agent.
3. Rinse the fi lter with clean water and dry thoroughly before re-installing.
DO NOT forget to install the air fi lter. If the air conditioner is left to operate without the air
fi lter, 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 recommended.
