Care and Maintenance

When cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to
turn the POWER OFF and disconnect the power
cord from the electrical outlet.
1. DO NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner or other
chemicals on the air conditioner as these
substances may cause damage to the paint finish
and deformation of plastic parts.
2. Never attempt to pour water directly on unit as
this will cause deterioration of the electrical
insulation.
Air Filter Removal:
The air filter is located behind the air intake front
grill. To remove the air filter, grasp the center of
the filter and pull upward.
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above
procedures. The air filter may be vacuumed or
washed by-hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly
before installing.
Cleaning Air Filter

attachment.

water or a neutral cleaning agent.
3. Rinse the filter with clean water and
dry thoroughly before re-installing.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the air
conditioner is left to operate without the air filter,
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(104 F). Use of a
