Cabinet Cleaning
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fi re hazard. The cabinet and front 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.
• Never use harsh cleansers, 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.
• Plug in air conditioner.
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.
User Manual
The air fi lter should be checked at least once a month to
see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the fi lter
can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
• Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position
(where applicable).
• Open the front panel.
• Grasp the fi lter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the fi lter using liquid dishwashing detergent
and warm water. Rinse fi lter thoroughly.
• Gently shake excess water from the fi lter. Be sure the
fi lter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
• You may also vacuum the fi lter clean rather than
washing.
NOTICE
Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the
air fi lter. Never attempt to operate the unit without
the air fi lter.
