Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the Intake Grille, and remove the Air
Filter.
Lift up the air filter’s handle, disconnect the two lower
tabs, and pull out.
2. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner or by
washing.
After washing, allow to dry thoroughly in a shaded place.
3. Replace the Air Filter and close the Intake
Grille.
1 Align the sides of the Air Filter with the panel, and
push in fully, making sure the two lower tabs are re-
turned properly to their holes in the panel.
2 Close the intake grille.
(For purposes of example, the illustration shows the unit
without intake grille installed.)
● Dust can be cleaned from the Air Filter either with a
vacuum cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of
mild detergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be
sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before
reinstalling.
● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the Air Filter, air flow
will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas-
ing noise.
● During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be
cleaned every two weeks.
