CARE AND CLEANING

1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power
before cleaning.
2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal
components and cause an electric shock hazard.
Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner brush,
or wipe them with a clean soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid detergent. When
cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force the vanes out of place.
1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor unit. Do not wipe
plastic parts using very hot water.
2. Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if handled
improperly; be especially careful when you clean these parts.
3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must be cleaned every
year. Consult your dealer or service center.
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at regular
intervals as indicated in the table below or when the filter indication (
remote controller (wired type) shows that the filter needs cleaning. If the filter gets blocked, the
efficiency of the air conditioner drops greatly.
Type U1
Period Six months
An air filter is not provided with this air conditioner at the time of shipment. To get clean air and
to extend the service life of the air conditioner, an air filter must be installed in the air intake.
For installation and cleaning the air filter, consult your dealer or service center.
The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the environment in which
the unit is used.
1. Remove the air filter from the air intake grille.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If there is sticky dust on the filter, wash the
filter in lukewarm, soapy water, rinse it in clean water, and dry it.
1. Remove the bolt screw on each side out of the latch using a screwdriver. (After cleaning,
be sure to reattach the two bolt screws.)
2. Slide the two latches of the air intake grille to the direction of the arrow to open the grille.
3. Open the air intake grille downward.
When cleaning the air filter, never remove the safety chain. If it is necessary to remove
it for servicing and maintenance inside, be sure to reinstall the safety chain securely
(hook on the grille side) after the work.
