Installing the charcoal filter
1. Grasp the filter frame (it slides in and out of the top back of the portable air
conditioner) and pull up until it slides completely out of the unit.
2. Lay the filter frame on a flat surface, and remove the plastic grid from the filter
frame.
3. Lay the charcoal filter on the inside surface of the prefilter. Replace the plastic
grid in the filter frame.
4. Insert the filter frame back into the portable air conditioner.
Cleaning the prefilter
1. Remove the filter frame from the portable air conditioner (as described in step one
of “Installing the charcoal filter”).
2. Use a vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment to suck the accumulated dust off the
prefilter.
3. If the prefilter needs more thorough cleaning, remove the charcoal filter (follow
the instructions for “Installing the charcoal filter”, but remove the charcoal filter
instead).
4. Scrub the prefilter gently in warm water.
Do not use water warmer than 104° or soapy water.
5. Allow the prefilter to dry completely.
6. Reinstall the charcoal filter into the filter frame.
7. Replace the filter frame into the portable air conditioner.
Long term storage
At the end of the season, or whenever you do not plan to use the portable air
conditioner for an extended period of time, we suggest you take the following steps:
• Unplug the unit.
• Completely drain the internal water reservoir.
• Clean the prefilter.
• On a warm, sunny day, operate the unit on fan mode for a few hours to
completely dry it out.
• Wind the power cord about the storage hooks on the back of the portable air
conditioner.
