is directed straight up.
Moisture removal
The moisture that your air
conditioner removes from the air
drains to the rear of the cabinet
where it is picked up by a fan and
dispersed against the condenser.
Occasionally, more likely during
start-up, a "pinging" noise may be
heard. This is normal for a short
time in less humid areas and longer
in very humid areas. This method
of moisture removal improves the
operational efficiency of your air
conditioner.
Note: Before moving your air
conditioner to another location, turn
it off and wait 5 or 10 minutes. This
will allow the condensate to drain
from the coil into the base pan.
Then, keeping a firm grip on the air
conditioner, carefully raise the
window and tilt the air conditioner
to the outside to drain the water
from the base pan.

Air Filter
The air filter behind the inlet grille
should be washed at least every
two weeks or as often as it needs
cleaning.
On some models the air filter fits
into a slot at the front of the air
discharge louvers. Remove the
filter by grasping its top corners
and pulling up and out.
On some models the air filter
fits in a slot behind an access door
located on the front top of the air
conditioner. Remove the filter by
opening the access door, grasping
the filter and pulling up and out.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the
filter on its dusty side or wash
gently with running water. Apply
the water from the cleaner side of
the filter to wash out the dust and
lint. Mild detergent may be used to
clean the filter if it is very dirty.
When the air filter is washed in
water, it must be dried before
reusing. It may be dried by gently
shaking or pressing between
towels. Replace the filter, with the
filter's front facing you.

the air conditioner without a
filter. Dirt and lint will clog the
evaporator surface, reduce air
flow, possibly cause ice to form
and reduce
cooling ability.
Grilles & Cabinet
Wipe grilles with a clean cloth
lightly dampened with mild liquid
cabinet with mild soap or detergent
and lukewarm water.
Condenser Coils
The coils on the weather side
of the unit should be checked
periodically and cleaned if
clogged with dirt or soot from
the atmosphere. If extremely
soiled, they may need to be
steam cleaned, a service
