Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug
the unit before
cleaning
to prevent
shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should
be checked
at least once a month
to see if cleaning
is
necessary.
Trapped
particles
in the filter
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 filter
by the center
and pull up and out.
, Wash the filter
using liquid
dishwasHng
detergent
and warm
water.
Rinse filter
thoroughly.
Gently
shake excess water
from the filter.
Be sure filter
is
thoroughly
dry before
replacing
, Or instead
of washing,
you may vacuum
the filter
clean.
Cabinet
Cleaning
• Be sure to unplug
the air conditioner
to prevent
shock or fire 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 cleaners,
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
ff 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.
Do not block air flow
inside with blinds, curtains
or furniture;
or outside with
shrubs, enclosures,
or other buildings,
The capacity
of the room air conditioner
must fit the room size for efficient
and
satisfactory
operation.
Install
the room air conditioner
on the shady side of your
home.
A window
that faces
north
is best because
it is shaded
most of the day.
Close the fireplace
damper,
floor
and wall registers
so cool air does not escape
up
the chimney
and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes
in other
windows
closed during
the sunniest
part of the day.
Clean the air filter
as recommended
in the section
"Care and Cleaning".
Proper
insulation
and weather
stripping
in your
home will help keep warm
air out
and cool air in.
External
house shading
with trees,
plants
or awnings
will help reduce
the air
conditioner's
work load.
Operate
heat producing
appliances
such as ranges,
washers,
dryers
and dishwashers
during
the coolest
part of the day.
