Unplug the power cord.
Remove the front panel. (See "Cleaning
the front panel" on page 7.)

which attach the curtains to the cabinet.
(See A in illustration.)
Remove the slotted, hex-head screws
holding the top channel. (See B
in illustration.)
6. Remove slotted, hex-head screws on
sides of cabinet. (See C in illustration.)
7. Holding the cabinet on both sides,
carefully lift cabinet off base. Watch out
for the sharp metal fins on the front and
rear coils.
6. Wrap the motor, electrical control box,
and compressor terminal box in plastic
film to make sure no water or other
liquids get inside. Water or other liquids
could damage the insulation and cause
serious mechanical problems.
9. Clean and hose out the base, coils, and
condensate pans. Clean air conditioner
at least once a year or more often if the
condenser coils and pans collect dirt,
sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also,
clean the air conditioner if you detect an
odor coming from it. Do not use the
collected water for drinking purposes. It
is not sanitary.
10.
Remove plastic film from the motor and
electrical parts.
11.
Replace unit in cabinet. Reattach the
top channel and side curtains. Tighten

12. Reinstall air conditioner in the window.
13. Replace the front panel.
14. Plug in the power cord.
NOTE:
It is a good idea to wait 24 hours
before starting the air conditioner again.
Doing so allows time for all areas to
dry thoroughly.
The water from rainfall or from normal
operation does not harm the motor or
electrical parts.
