V. Normal Care and Maintenance
To reduce the risk of electric shock, personal
injury, or death, turn the fan control to the
off position and remove the unit plug from
the wall outlet before doing any inspection
or maintenance work.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
It is suggested that your unit be inspected by your dealer or
servicer once a year. It is advisable to have the outer case
removed and the unit thoroughly cleaned.
Note: The life of your unit may be greatly reduced if you live in a
salt air or other corrosive type environment. Under these
conditions the unit should be removed from its case and
completely cleaned at least once a year. At that time any
scratches or blisters on the painted surfaces should be
sanded and repainted. Placing an algaecide tablet in the
outdoor side of the unit's base pan is suggested in humid
areas where algae formation is common. Amana
recommends the following algaecide cleaners: PanGuard
Control Released Technologies, Inc. and CDC Anti-Clog
Virginia KMP.

FRONT GRILLE AND CABINET CLEANING
The grille and complete cabinet may be cleaned with warm
water and mild soap or detergent. Cleaning or polishing
compounds are not recommended, as they may damage
plastic surfaces.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
A dirty air filter reduces the operating efficiency of your unit.
The filter should be inspected at least once every week during
operation. It can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or washed
in warm water and mild detergent. The filter should be
thoroughly dried before it is replaced. Do not operate the
unit without a filter.
FAN MOTOR
The fan motor is permanently lubricated for long life. There is
no need to oil the motor.
