AIR FILTER CLEANING
The Air Filter will become dirty as it removes dust
from the inside air. It should be washed at least
every 2 weeks. If the Air Filter remains full of dust,
the air flow will decrease and the cooling capacity
will be reduced, possibly damaging the unit.
• Pull the inlet grille forward, grasping both tabs,
then pull out the air filter. (FIG. 29)
• Wash the Air Filter under the faucet with warm
water. Be sure to shake off all the water before
replacing the filter. (FIG. 30)
HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT
GRILLE
• Remove the TEMP knob and the MODE knob by
pulling.
• Open the inlet grille downward.
• Remove the screw securing the Front Grille.
• Push the grille up from the bottom and pull the top
of the grille away from the case to lift the top tabs
out of their slots.

AIR CONDITIONER CLEANING
Clean the front grille and inlet grille by wiping with a
cloth dampened in a mild detergent solution.
The cabinet may be washed with mild soap or
detergent and lukewarm water, then polished with
liquid appliance wax.
To ensure continued peak efficiency, the condenser
coils (outdoor side of unit) should be checked
periodically and cleaned if they become clogged
with soot or dirt from the atmosphere. Brush or
vacuum exterior coils to remove debris from fins.
