WARNING
Before cleaning or performing maintenance,
disconnect the power supply and wait until
the fan stops.

Air Filter

Check the air filter at least twice a month to see
if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the
filter can build up and block the airflow, reducing
cooling capacity and causing an accumulation of
frost on the evaporator.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1
Remove the air filter from the front grille by
pulling the filter forward and then up slightly.
2
Wash the filter using lukewarm water below
40 °C (104 °F).
3
Gently shake the excess water from the
filter and replace.
Cleaning the Air Conditioner
● Wipe the front grille and inlet grille with a cloth
dampened in a mild detergent solution.
● Wash the cabinet with mild soap or detergent
and lukewarm water, then polish using liquid
appliance wax.
NOTE
● To ensure continued peak efficiency, the
condenser coils (outside of unit) should be
checked periodically and cleaned if clogged
with soot or dirt from outside air.
● For repair and maintenance, contact an
Authorized Service Center. See the warranty
page for details or call 1-888-LG-CANADA
(542 2623).
Have your model number and serial number
available. They should be written on page 28
of this manual.
