primary heat source. It is intended for supplemental heating only.

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of

dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care

for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer

for an annual checkup. Remember... the cost of this service call

is your responsibility.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps

remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important

for best cooling or heating and operating efficiency. Check the

filter every 2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in

place.

1. Turn off air conditioner.

2. Using the indents in top of filter door, pull door down. Filter

door is not removable.

3. Slide air filter up and out to remove from the filter door.

Use the tabs to direct the air right or left (on some models).

Rotate the whole cartridge to direct air up, down or straight

ahead.

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear

sounds such as:

Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or

clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.

Air movement from the fan.

Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.

A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern

high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.

4. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If air filter is very dirty,

wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash air

filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry

filter completely before replacing to ensure maximum

efficiency.

5. Slide air filter down into the filter door. Close filter door.

1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.

2. Remove the air filter and clean it separately. See "Cleaning

the Air Filter."

3. Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.

4. Air dry front panel completely.

5. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very

important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a

problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy-

duty cover over air conditioner cabinet. For information on

ordering a heavy-duty cover, see "Accessories."

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure

steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local

authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense

of an annual inspection is your responsibility.
