ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
Clean the unit air intake fi lter at least every 300 to 350 hours
of operation. Clean the fi lters with a mild detergent in warm
water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
COILS AND BASE PAN
The indoor coil (evaporator coil), the outdoor coil (condenser
coil) and base pan should be inspected periodically
(yearly or bi-yearly) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt,
leaves, paper, etc.). Clean the coils and base pan with a soft
brush and compressed air or vacuum. If using a pressure
washer, be careful not to bend the aluminium fi n pack. Use
a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the verti-
cal aluminum fi n pack when pressure cleaning coils. Cover
all electrical components to protect them from water or spray.
Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it in the
sleeve.

SHROUD
Inspect the indoor blower housing, evaporator blade, con-
denser fan blade and condenser shroud periodically (yearly
or bi-yearly) and clean of all debris (lint, dirt, mold, fungus,
etc.). Clean the blower housing area and blower wheel with
an antibacterial / antifungal cleaner. Use a biodegradable
cleaning agent and degreaser on condenser fan and con-
denser shroud. Use warm or cold water when rinsing these
items. Allow all items to dry thoroughly before reinstalling
them.
ELECTRONIC / ELECTRICAL / MECHANICAL
Periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly): inspect all control
components: electronic, electrical and mechanical, as well as
the power supply. Use proper testing instruments (voltmeter,
ohmmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, etc.) to perform electrical
tests. Use an air conditioning or refrigeration thermometer
to check room, outdoor and coil operating temperatures.
Use an electronic tester to measure wet bulb temperatures
indoors and outdoors.
