USUAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Before you clean the air conditioner, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker or main power switch.
Cleaning of indoor unit and remote controller
CAUTION
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the indoor unit and remote controller.
• When the air conditioner is extremely dirty, use a cloth dipped in cold water to wipe the indoor
unit.
• Never use a damp cloth on the remote controller.
• Do not use a chemical-based duster for wiping or leave such materials on the unit for extended
periods of time. Doing so could damage or cause the surface of the unit to fade.

These can cause the plastic surface to crack or deform.
