needs cleaning.

top of the front panel.

opening at top of front panel.
Performing annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual mainte-
nance to ensure steady, top performance
throughout the year. Call the service com-
pany recommended by your dealer to:
l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate
water passages.
l Check fan and fan motor.
The compressor and fan motor are sealed
and need no oiling. The expense of an
annual inspection is the consumer’s respon-
sibility.
OR
If you are familiar with electrical appliances,
you can do the inspection and maintenance
yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these
steps:
1. Disconnect power cord from receptacle.
2. Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning the
front panel” on page 7.)
3. Slide unit out of cabinet using the handles
on the base flange
4. Be careful not to break off or remove
white or gray beaded foam parts. Some
are marked “Do not remove.”
Electrical Shock Hazard
l Unplug power cord from receptacle
before performing any maintenance.
Be sure no liquid gets into the motor,
electrical control box, or compressor
electrical terminals.
l Do not lift, push, or pull any white or
gray beaded foam (expanded polysty-
rene) parts.
l
Because your air conditioner weighs
from 80 to 200 pounds, it is recom-
mended that you have someone help
you when you remove or reinstall
your unit and that you both use proper
lifting techniques.
l
Handle the air conditioner with care.
Watch out for the sharp metal fins on
the front and rear coils.
l Do not use the collected water for
drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in electrical shock, personal
injury, or product damage.
