At the end of the season, or when you do not plan to use the unit for an
extended period of time, we recommend that you take the following steps:
Drain excess water from the pan through Drain (B).
Run the unit for 3 to 4 hours in fan mode. The fan mode can be activated by running the air
conditioning function without the compressor, which will occur if you set the thermostat
temperature above the room temperature. This will thoroughly dry the inside of the unit.
Disconnect the unit and wrap the power cord and plug.
Clean the unit and store it, protecting it from dust.
Store the unit in an upright position. Keep it in a cool, dry place and away from sunshine.
Before cleaning the unit, turn it off and unplug it from the outlet.
For safety reasons, never wash the air conditioner.
EXTERIOR SURFACES OF THE UNIT
Clean the air conditioner by using a damp sponge, and dry it with a clean, soft cloth.
Never use alcohol or any product containing solvents.
AIR FILTERS
The air filters located on the back of the unit collect dust contained in the air. To keep
the dust from clogging the unit, your unit must always be used with its air filters.
The build up of dust reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air filters must be
cleaned every two weeks, and more often if the machine operates in a dusty atmosphere.
If the filters are obstructed, the air conditioner will be less efficient.
Each air filter has a tab in the center and is secured to the unit by two clips on the top and two clips
on the bottom of the filter. Remove the air filters with the unit switched off, by pulling the tab
towards you.
Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner. If the filters are very dirty, you can wash them in warm
water (never use hot or soapy water). Make sure that the air filters are completely dry before
putting them back on the unit.
Do not bend the filters.
