Air Conditioner Features
(continued)
(4-WAY)
Air Directional
Louvers
Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has one of the
louver types described below.
4-Way
Louvers
The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct air flow up or down, left or
right throughout the room as needed. To adjust the air directional louvers side-to-
side, use the center handle as you move it side-to-side.
Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter
Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on
the cooling coils.
•
Push the vent handle to the OFF position.
• Tilt the Horizontal Louvers in the UP position, before putling the filter out.
• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• On some models, first tilt the panel out by grasping the panel from both sides
just below the air directional louvers and gently pull to release. Gently pivot the
panel on its hinge, and remove the filter.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly
dry before replacing.
• Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.
Cabinet Cleaning
•
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner
to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and
front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened
in a
solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing
detergent.
Rinse thoroughly
and
wipe dry.
•
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
•
Be sure to wring excess water
from the cloth before wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
•
The cabinet front
can be removed for more thorough
cleaning.
Refer to "Front
Installation"
in this manual.
•
Clean the front in a sink using liquid dishwashing
detergent
and warm water. Rinse
thoroughly
and dry.
•
Replace cabinet front. Replace the screws.
•
Replace front panel (if applicable) and filter. Plug in air conditioner.
