cleaning and maintaining your
air conditioner
Keeping your air conditioner clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens
its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
1. Wipe the surface of the appliance with a slightly wet or
dry cloth when needed.
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox
TM
.
They may damage the surface of the unit and can create
a risk of fire.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
1. Open the front grille and pull out the air filter inserted at the back of the front grille.
2. Vacuum the air filter completely.
3. Push the air filter back into place.
• For best conditions, repeat every two weeks.
• If the air filter dries in a confined (or humid) area, odors may generate. If this occurs,
re-clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
MAINTAINING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, dry it thoroughly and disconnect from the wall.
There may be internal damage if moisture is left in its components.
1.
Before storing the appliance, operate the air conditioner in
Fan
mode for three to four hours to
dry the air conditioner completely.
2. Upon removing from storage, dry the inner components of the air conditioner again by
running in Fan mode for three to four hours. This helps remove odors which may have
generated from dampness.
