Care and Cleaning ■
WARNING
1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to disconnect the power
before cleaning.
2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This will damage the internal com-
ponents and cause an electric shock hazard.
Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner
brush, or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid
detergent. When cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force the vanes
out of place.
Air intake and outlet side
(Indoor unit)
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be cleaned at
regular intervals as indicated in the table below or when the filter indication ( ) on
the display of the remote control unit (wired type) shows that the filter needs clean-
ing. If the filter gets blocked, the efficiency of the air conditioner drops greatly.

*Concealed duct type (U):
An air filter is not provided with this air conditioner at the time of shipment. To get
clean air and to extend the service life of the air conditioner, an air filter must be
installed in the air intake. For installation and cleaning the air filter, consult your
dealer or service center.
NOTE The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the environment
in which the unit is used.
1. Remove the air filter from the air intake grille.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust. If there is sticky dust on the filter,
wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy water, rinse it in clean water, and dry it.
