CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS TURN OFF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM AND DISCONNECT ITS POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning Your Unit
IMPORTANT
The cabinet and front panel may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Do not use inflammable sprays such as lacquer or hair spray near the air conditioner
Do not use benzene, alcohol, gasoline, acid,paint thinner, polishing powder or other solvents to clean the unit. The unit can be damaged.
Do not use water hotter than 50°C (122°F) to clean the front panel. This can cause the panel to deform or become discolored.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air condtioner. Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wipe
it clean.
Cleaning Your Air Filter
A clogged air filter can reduce the cooling efficiency of your unit and
increase operating noise.Make sure to clean the filter once every two
weeks (or as necessary) during periods of frequent operation.
1. Hold the slot under the front panel, then uplift it outwards, and
remove the front panel.
2. Pinch the handle under the air filter and make the air filter arched,
remove it from the slot from underside to upside(Model A). Grasp the
handle of the filter, then slide it downwards to remove the filter(Model B).
3. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. The water should be below
40°C (104°F) to prevent distortion of the filter.
4. If your filter has a small air freshening filter, clean this air freshening
filter with a hand-held vacuum.
5. Rinse the air filter with fresh water, then shake off excess water.
6. Dry it in a cool, dry place, and refrain from exposing it to direct sunlight.

WATER DRAINAGE

The condensed water can be treated as follows:
Bottom drainage (Applicable for the units designed with
bottom drain hole only. )
- Remove the rubber plug from the bottom of cabinet(if any)
- Take out the drain pan and screws from accessary.
- Fix the drain pan onto the bottom of cabinet by screws.
- Connect an extension drain hose (locally purchased) to the
outlet of drain tray.
NOTE: The bottom drainage will slightly affect cooling perfo-
rmance, but it can reduce the noise caused by spraying the
condensed water. For pump heating, the bottom drainage
must be choosed.
Back drainage
- Fit the seal onto the drain joint(provided as accessory).
- Insert the drain joint to the back drainage hole, and rotate
it by 90° to be well fitted.
- Connect an extension drain hose (locally purchased accor-
ding to the installation length request) to the drain joint.
- Make sure to plug the bottom drain hole by rubble plug.
NOTE: The back drainage will slightly affect cooling perfor-
mance, but will reduce the noise caused by spraying the
condensed water.
Model A
Model B
If your filter has a small air freshening
filter(optional),it can be installed at
any of the four positions, install it at
the postion as you like . Clean it with
a hand-held vacuum.
NEVER operate the air conditioner without the
air filter, as dust/dirt particles can contribute to
equipment failure.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it
carefully from the window according to the installation instructions.
Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.
