Cleaning Your Indoor Unit
BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS TURN OFF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM AND DISCONNECT ITS
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION
Only use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the unit clean. If the unit is
especially dirty, you can use a cloth soaked in warm water to wipe it
clean.
Do not use chemicals or chemically treated cloths to clean the
•
unit
Do not use benzene, paint thinner, polishing powder or other
•
solvents to clean the unit. They can cause the plastic surface to
crack or deform.
Do not use water hotter than 40°C (104°F) to clean the front
•
panel. This can cause the panel to deform or become
discolored.
Cleaning Your Air Filter
A clogged air conditioner can reduce the cooling efficiency of your
unit, and can also be bad for your health. Make sure to clean the
filter once every two weeks.
1. Lift the front panel of the indoor unit.
2. Grip the tab on the end of the filter, push it up slightly, then pull
it a little towards yourself.
3. Now pull down to extract the filter.
4. If your filter has a small air freshening filter, unclip it from the
larger filter. Clean this air freshening filter with a hand-held
vacuum.
5. Clean the large air filter with warm, soapy water. Be sure to use
a mild detergent.
