Care and Maintenance
1) Do Not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any
other chemicals to clean this unit ,as these
substances may cause damage to the finish and
deformation of plastic parts.

directly over any of the surface areas, as this will
cause deterioration of electrical components and
wiring insulation.
Removal and Cleaning of the Air Filter
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust/dirt, air
flow is restricted and reduces efficiency. The air
filter should be cleaned every two (2) weeks. More
frequent cleaning may be necessary depending
upon indoor air quality.
1) To remove the air filter: Grasp the
air filter tab.
2) Pull the filter “out” then “up”. Fig. 34.
3) Dust/Dirt clogged in the filter can be removed by
vacuum cleaning the soiled areas.
4) The filter can also be washed in lukewarm soapy
water while rubbing it lightly with a brush. A mild
detergent (dishwashing soap) is recommended.
5) Rinse the filter well using clean water. Allow time
to dry before reinstalling into the unit.
6) Replace the air filter.
7) Replacement air filters are available through the
Customer Service Parts Department.
CAUTION
Never operate the unit without the air filter in place
as this may result in damage to the unit.
CAUTION

recommended that the unit be disconnected from
