Performing annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual minte-
nance to ensure steady, top performance
throughout the year. Call the service com-
pany recommended by your dealer to:
l
Inspect and clean the coils and condensate
water passages.
l
Check fan and fan motor.
The compressor and fan motor
are sealed
and need no oiling. The
expense
of an annual
inspection is the fzowmets responsibility.
OR
Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Unplug power cord from receptacle
before performing
any
maintenance.
Be
sure no
liquid gets
into
the motor,
electrical control box, or compressor
electrical terminals.
l
Do not lift, push, or pull any white
beaded foam (expanded polystyrene)
park.
If you are familiar with electrical appliances,
you can do the inspection and maintenance
yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these
steps:
1. Disconnect power cord from receptacle.
2. Remove the front panel. (See "Cleaning
the front panel" on page 7.)
3.
Slide unit out of cabinet using the
handles on the base flange.
l
Because your air conditioner weighs
from 110 to 200 pounds, it is recom-
mended that you have someone help
you when you remove or reinstall
your unit and that you both use proper
lifting techniques.
l
Handle the air conditioner with care.
Watch out for the sharp metal fins on
the front and rear coils.
l
Do not use the collected water for
drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in electrical shock, personal
injury, or product damage.
