Maintenance Instructions
Annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance
to help ensure steady, top performance through-
out the year.
Call the service company recommended by
your dealer to:
l
Inspect and clean the coils and condensate
water passages.
l
Check fan.
The compressor and fan motor are sealed and
need no oiling. The expense of an annual
inspection is the customer’s responsibility.
OR
If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you
can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If
you choose to do so, follow these steps:
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 two or more people to move and
install air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove front panel. (See page 24 for
instructions.)
3. Pull control knobs straight off. Remove the
control plate.
4. Remove the green ground wire. It is attached
with a screw located on the bottom left side,
under the control plate. (Save the screw to
reattach wire.)
5. Pull out handle and slide air conditioner out of
cabinet. Watch out for the sharp metal fins on
the front and rear coils.
NOTE: The air conditioner is heavy and
should be removed by at least 2 people.
6. Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and
compressor terminal box in plastic film and
make sure no water or other liquid gets inside
any of these parts. It could damage the
insulation and cause serious mechanical
problems.
7. Carefully clean and hose out the base,
condenser coils, and condensate parts.
Clean at least once a year - or more often
if the condenser coil, and pan collects dirt,
sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean
if you detect an odor coming from the air
conditioner. Do not use the collected water
for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.
8. Remove plastic film from motor and electrical
parts.
9. Replace unit in cabinet.
10. Reattach ground wire. Replace control plate
and knobs.
11. Replace front panel.
12. Reconnect power supply.
NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before
starting the unit again. This allows time for
all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or
from normal operation does not harm these
components.
