Caring For Your Air Conditioner; Annual Maintenance - Whirlpool ACM052 Use & Care Manual

Caring For Your Air Conditioner
Annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to
help ensure steady, top performance throughout
the year.
Call the service company recommended by your
dealer to:
l
Inspect and clean the coils and condensate
water passages.
l
Check fan and oil the fan motor.
The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.
Expense of annual inspection is the customer's
responsibility.
OR
If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you
can do the inspection and maintenance yourself. If
you choose to do so, follow these steps:
Electrical Shock, Product Damage and
Personal Injury Hazard
l
Unplug power cord from receptacle before
performing any maintenance. Be sure no
liquid gets into the motor, electrical control
box or compressor electrical terminals.
l
Do not lift, push or pull any white beaded
foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.
l
Because your air conditioner weighs from
80 to 110 pounds, it is recommended that
you have someone help you when you
remove and re-install your unit and that
you both use proper lifting techniques.
l
Handle the air conditioner with care. Watch
out for the sharp metal fins on the front
and rear condenser coils.
l
Do not use the collected water for drinking
purposes. It is not sanitary.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in electrical shock, product
damage or personal injury.
