Cleaning and maintenance

• Make sure to the turn power off and disconnect the power plug before cleaning the air
conditioner to prevent the risk of electric shock.
• Do not put water directly on surfaces of the indoor or outdoor units. There is a risk of
electric shock.
• Flammable liquids (thinner, gasoline, etc.) will damage the air conditioner. (Clean the units
with a dry soft cloth, or a cloth dampened with water, or gentle cleanser.)
Clean the front panel with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
Note: Do not immerse the front panel in water. Doing so can cause damage to the
microcomputer components and circuit diagrams on the front panel.
Clean the air filter (Recommended once every three months)
NOTE: The air filters must be cleaned regularly if there is a lot of dust around the air conditioner.

injury to your fingers.
