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. 26)
• Wash the Air Filter under the faucet with warm
water. Be sure to shake off all the water before
replacing the filter. (FIG.27)
