AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years
of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and
care for your air conditioner properly.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter
in place. Cooling performance will be effected when the coil
becomes dirty.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If the air filter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent and rinse well.
NOTE: Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the filter. Air dry the air filter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
