CLEANING THE FILTER
For energy efficient operation, your filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Units
in dusty environments may require more frequent filter cleaning.
•
The filter removal handle is located on the right side of the unit (see diagram D).
•
Remove it by sliding it out.
•
Use a vacuum cleaner or rinse the filter in cold water. If the filter is particularly dirty
(such as grease buildup), wash and gently scrub the filter in a bath of warm (not
hot) soapy water. Let the filter completely dry in a shady place; exposing the filter
to direct sunlight can cause deformation.
•
After the filter is clean and completely dry, re-insert the filter.
Note: To avoid deformation and fire risk, never dry the filter with a heat source, such as a
hair dryer, fireplace, or heater.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM / POSSIBLE CAUSES
The air conditioner does not function at all
• Is the power cable properly inserted into a functioning, grounded outlet?
• Is there a power failure such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
• Is the ambient temperature lower than 61°F (16°C)? A safety device prevents the
unit from cooling the room to even lower temperatures.
Insufficient Cooling
• Is the unit temperature set properly?
• Is the air filter dirty?
• Are doors or windows open?
• Is the room directly exposed to sunlight or are there other heat sources in the
room?
• Are there a large number of people in the room?
The air conditioner unit starts and stops frequently.
• Verify the rating of your electrical system and outlets. You may need a qualified
electrician to troubleshoot and upgrade your electrical circuits if your air condi-
tioner unit exceeds the rated capacity.
Fog blows out during cooling
• In warm, high humidity environments this may naturally occur. Continued cool-
ing will remove excess humidity from the room and the fog will disappear.
The unit emits a strange smell
• This may be caused by residue from cooking and cigarette smoke, etc. that re-
main in the air conditioning unit. Eliminated the source of the smell and clean the
