CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER
If the filter is clogged with dust, the amount of air flow will
be reduced, resulting in poor cooling performance. The
filter should be cleaned every 10 days. At the beginning of
every cooling season or after a long period of inactivity,
clean the filter before starting the unit.
4 REMOVE THE FILTER
* Open the front panel and get the filter out.
CLEAN THE FILTER
To remove dust from the filter, use a vacuum cleaner
or wash it in clean water.
If the filter is very dirty, wash it with detergent and
rinse carefully with clean water. Dry the filter with
a soft cloth.
Do not expose the filter to heat or dry it in direct
sunlight.
RE-INSTALL THE FILTER
Put the filter into its original position and close the
front panel.
Never operate the unit without installing the filter. It
may result in serious damage to the unit.
CLEANING OF THE FRONT PANEL AND CABINET
To Clean the front panel and cabinet, wipe with a soft, dry cloth or with a cloth moistened with a
mild soap. Rinse carefully by wiping with a damp cloth and dry completely.
Avoid splashing the unit with water. Excess water can damage electrical insulation and result in
danger.
Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the unit. To avoid damage to the
unit, do not use hot water (120 °F / 50 C or more) when cleaning.
OILING OF THE COMPRESSOR AND FAN MOTOR IS
UNNECESSARY
The compressor is permanently lubricated and is hermetically sealed. The fan motor is
lifetime sealed and does not require oiling.
REMOVING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Before removing the air conditioner, operate the unit in the FAN mode with high fan speed
on a dry day, for about half a day to thoroughly dry the water inside the air conditioner unit.
