that the indoor unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult
authorized service personnel.

benzene or thinner.

G Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of neutral
detergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure
to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before rein-
stalling.
G If dust is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, airflow
will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas-
ing noise.
G During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be
cleaned every two weeks.
