AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Normal Sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
Air movement from the fan.
Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If the air filter is very
dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not
wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical
cleaners. Air dry the air filter completely before replacing to
ensure maximum efficiency.
4. Replace the air filter by sliding the air filter back in on either
side of the front panel.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Clean the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.

Repairing Paint Damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very
important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

Annual Maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure
steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local
authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense
of an annual inspection is your responsibility.
