CARE AND CLEANING

Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new
and to minimize dust build up.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once
every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped
particles and dust can build up in the filter and
may decrease airflow as well as cause the
cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air
filter:
1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the in-
dents of the filter door on the front of the unit.
(See FIG. 13)
2.
Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-
tly shake the filter to remove excess water.
3.
Let the filter dry completely before placing it
into the air conditioner.
4.
If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and
other particles.

Wear and Tear
To minimize wear and tear on the air condi-
tioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before
changing modes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating and the circuit
breaker from tripping.
Winter Storage
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use
for an extended period of time, remove it care-
fully from the window according to the installation
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in
the original box.

Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or
��
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-
free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap.
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe
dry.
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on
��
the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth
��
before wiping around the controls. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
Energy Saving Ideas
Do not block the air flow inside with blinds,
��
curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,
enclosures, or other buildings.
The capacity of the room air conditioner must
��
fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory
operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady
��
side of your home. A window that faces North
is best because it receives the least amount
of sun exposure.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall
��
registers so cool air does not escape.
Keep blinds and drapes closed for cooling
��
and open for heating.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the
��
"care and cleaning" section.
Proper insulation and weather stripping in
��
your home will help limit cool air loss.
External house shading with trees, plants, or
��
awnings helps reduce the air conditioner's
work load.
Operate heat producing appliances during the
��
coolest part of the day. Such as a dish-
washer, oven, or computer.
