General Information
Changing Air Flow Direction
• Adjust horizontal baffles for directing air up or down
• Adjust vertical baffles with handle to direct air left or
right
Air Flow Around Unit
Check indoor grille and outdoor louvers for air flow obstruc-
tions. Do not block air flow to and from unit. The outdoor coil
should be checked and periodically cleaned for debris that
may collect and block unit air flow. If air flow is obstructed or
deflected back into unit, the compressor may cycle on and
off rapidly, causing early compressor failure.
Care and Maintenance
To avoid death or personal injury due to
electrical shock, turn fan control off and
unplug power cord before cleaning or
performing maintenance. After cleaning or
performing maintenance, reconnect power.
Note: The unit should be inspected by an authorized servicer
once a year to ensure proper function of the unit.
1. Once a year, remove chassis from outer case and
thoroughly clean air conditioner.
2. Wash air conditioner with warm, soapy water as needed.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. If using concentrated liquid detergent, dilute in warm
water first.
4. Do not use abrasive cleaners such as Comet™ , Ajax™ ,
etc. These items can scratch, crack, and discolor sur-
faces.
Oceanside or Corrosive Environment
Salt air or a corrosive environment may greatly reduce the life
of the unit. After cleaning, sand and repaint any scratches
or blisters on painted surfaces. In humid areas where algae
formation is common, place an algaecide tablet in outdoor
side of unit base pan.
