(For purposes of example, the illustration shows the unit without
Intake Grille installed.)
● Dust can be cleaned from the air fi lter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the fi lter in a solution of mild detergent
and warm water. If you wash the fi lter, be sure to allow it to
dry thoroughly in a shady place before reinstalling.
● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air fi lter, air fl ow will
be reduced, lowering operating effi ciency and increasing
noise.
● During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be cleaned
every two weeks.
● When used for extended periods, the unit may accumulate dirt inside, reducing its performance. We recommend that the unit be
inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information, consult authorized service personnel.
● When cleaning the unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 104 °F, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents like benzene or
thinner.
● Do not expose the unit body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
● When shutting down the unit for one month or more, fi rst allow the fan mode to operate continuously for about one-half day to
allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.
● Before cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to turn it off and disconnect the Power Supply Cord.
● Be sure the Intake Grille (Fig. 1 8) is installed securely.
● When removing and replacing the air fi lters, be sure not to touch the heat exchanger, as personal injury
may result.
