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
condensate 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 air conditioner or disconnect
power.
2. Remove the air conditioner from the
window channel frame and off of the
support platform.
3. Remove the front panel. (See page
14.)
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 damage 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.
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.
9. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect
power.
