CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury or death. Always
turn off power to the system before performing any cleaning or maintenance to
the system. Turn off the outdoor disconnect switch located near outdoor unit.
Be sure to disconnect the indoor unit if on a separate switch.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE/OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper
unit operation.
Operating the system with dirty air filters may damage the indoor unit and
could cause reduced cooling performance, intermittent system operation,
frost build-up on indoor coil or blown fuses.
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure proper operation of the unit.
Recommended maintenance intervals may vary depending on the installation
environment, e.g., dusty zones, etc. Refer to Table 1 on page 13.
CAUTION
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury. The coil fins are
very sharp. Use caution when cleaning.
Always wear safety protection.
Cleaning the Coil
Clean the coil at the beginning of each cooling season, or when necessary.
Use a vacuum cleaner or a long-bristle brush to avoid damage to the coil
fins.
Cleaning the Air Filters
Remove and clean the air filters once a month. A clogged air conditioner
can reduce the cooling efficiency of your unit, and can also be bad for
your health.
NOTE: If air filters show signs of excessive wear or are torn, they must
be replaced. Contact your local dealer for replacement filters.
1. The air filter is on the top of the air conditioner.
2. Hold both side of the top filter in the place marked with PULL, then
pull it upwards.
3. If the filter has small air freshening filters, unclip them from the larger filter.
Clean these air freshening filters with a hand-held vacuum.
4. Clean the large air filter with warm, soapy water. Be sure to use a mild
detergent.
5. Rinse the filter with fresh water, then shake off any excess water.
6. Dry the filter in a cool, dry place, and refrain from exposing it to direct
sunlight.
7. When dry, re-clip the air freshening filter to the larger filter, then install
it back on the indoor unit.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

CAUTION
Before changing the filter or cleaning, turn off the unit and disconnect its
power supply.
When removing the filter, do not touch metal parts in the unit. The sharp
metal edges can cut you.
Do not use water to clean the inside of the indoor unit. This can destroy
insulation and cause an electrical shock.
Do not expose filter to direct sunlight when drying. This can shrink the filter.

dry cloth.
