CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit
before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning.
Never use hot water over 104 F (40 C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the
unit without the air filter.
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. Pull the grille out from the indents on both sides at the front and remove the filter inside.
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly.
Gently 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.
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.
Winter Storage
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for an extended period of time, remove it
carefully from the window according to the installation instructions and cover it with plastic
or place it in the original box.
