AirFilterCleaning

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary.

Trapped particles in the fi_ter wifl build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling

capacity and also causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet gri_te.(a)

tn another case, you can open the inlet grilte downward by pulling out the top of the inlet

gdHe.(b)

2. Remove the air fi_ter from the fi'ont grille assembty by pL_llingthe air filter up or down

If the unit _oeives direct sunlight, build an awning to shade the cabinet.

There shou{d be no obstacle, like a fence, within 20" which might restrict heat radiation from the

condenser.

To prevent reducing performance, install the unit so that louvers of the cabinet are not blocked.

tnstalt the unit a little obliquely outward not to avoid leaking the condensed water into the _oom

(about 1/'2"or 114bubble with level).

Install the unit with its bottom portion 30-60" above the floor level

Stuff the foam between the top of the unit and the wall to prevent air and insects flom getting into
