Maintenance and Service

Air Filter

Check the air filter at least twice a month to see if cleaning is neces_ry. Trapped

(a) (b) (c)

Lift the inlet grille,

Remove the air filter from the front grille by pulling the air filter up slightly:

Wash the fiJter using Iiukewarm water below 40 °C (104 °F),

Gently shake the excess water from the filter and replace.

:DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a hTter because dirt and lint will

clog # and reduce performance.

Cleaning the Air Conditioner

The front grille and Inlet grille may be

wip_ with a cloth dampened in a mild

detergent solution,

The cabinet may' be washed with mild

soap or detergent and lukewarm

water, then _lished with Liquid Wax

for Appliances.

To ensure continued peak efficiency,

the condenser coils (o.utside of unit).

should be checked periodically and

cleaned if clogg_ with s_t or dirt

from the atmosphere.
