Annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual
maintenance to help ensure steady, top
performance throughout the year.
Call the service company recommended
by your dealer to:
l Inspect and clean the coils and conden-
sate water passages.
l Check fan and fan motor.
The compressor is sealed and needs no
oiling. The expense of an annual inspection
is the customer’s responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances,
you can do the cleaning and maintenance
yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these
steps:
1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove the air conditioner from the
window channel frame and off of the
support platform.
3. Remove the front panel. (See page 15.)
4. Remove the screws from the top and sides
of the cabinet, and then remove the
cabinet.
5. Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and
compressor terminal box in plastic film to
make sure no water or other liquid gets
inside. Water or other liquids could dam-
age the insulation and cause serious
mechanical problems.
6. Clean and hose out the base, coils, and
condensate pan. Clean at least once a
year, or more often if the condenser coils
and pan collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects,
or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor
coming from the air conditioner. Do not use
the water collected in the air conditioner for
drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.
7. Remove the plastic film from the motor and
electrical parts.
8. Reattach the cabinet with the screws.
Replace the front panel, and reinstall the
air conditioner.
9. Reconnect power supply.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug power cord from outlet
before servicing.
Be sure no liquid gets into the motor,
electrical control box, or compressor
terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, electrical shock,
or serious injury.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use 2 or more people to move and
install air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours
before starting the air conditioner again. This
allows time for all areas to dry out. The
water from rainfall or from normal operation
does not harm these components.
