CARE AND MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, air flow is obstructed and reduces efficiency. The air
filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
The air filter is located behind the air intake front grill. To remove the air filter, grasp the filter
handle on the front of the gril and slide it out to the right.
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedures. The air filter must be vacuumed or
washed by hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly before re-installing.
CLEANING AIR FILTER:
1) Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment
2) Wash the filter in lukewarm water below 40°C (104°F): To get best results, wash with soapy
water or a neutral cleaning agent.
3) Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly before re-installing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the air conditioner is left to operate
without the air filter, dust is not removed from the room air and may result in machine failure.
When the air inlet grill and cabinet are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40°C). Use of a
mild detergent is recommended.
