Care and Cleaning
1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and also to
disconnect the power before cleaning.
2. Do not pour water or spray detergent on the indoor unit to clean it.
This will damage the internal components and may cause an
electric shock or fire.
Air Intake and outlet side
(Indoor Unit)
Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a vacuum cleaner
brush, or wipe them with a clean soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with a mild liquid
detergent. When cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force the
vanes out of place.
CAUTION
1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning the indoor
unit. Do not wipe plastic parts using very hot water.
2. Some metal edges and the fins are sharp and may cause injury if
handled improperly; be especially careful when you clean these
parts.
3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor unit must
be cleaned every year. Consult your dealer or service center.
Air filter The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and should be
cleaned about once every six months (Recessed type) or two weeks (ceiling
mounted type and wall mounted type). If the filter gets blocked, the
efficiency of the air conditioner drops greatly.
NOTE
The frequency with which the filter should be cleaned depends on the
environment in which the unit is used.
How to remove the filter Recessed type:
1. Remove the bolt screw on each side out of the latch using a
screwdriver. (After cleaning, be sure to reattach the two bolt screws.)
2. Press on the two latches of the air intake grille with your thumbs in the
direction of the arrow to open the grille.
3. Open the air intake grille downward.
CAUTION
When cleaning the air filter, never remove the safety string. If it is
necessary to remove it for servicing and maintenance inside, be sure
to reinstall the safety string securely (hook on the grille side) after the
work.
4. Remove the air filter attached to the air intake grille.
