Air Filter
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to
keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the
unit before cleaning to prevent shock or
fire hazards.
The air filter should be checked at least once
a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter can build up
and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
NOTE: When replacing the air filter after
cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air filter
are on the upper part of filter, and placed
outward as shown in the drawing on the left
side.
Air Filter Cleaning
Cabinet Cleaning
• Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed
position(where applicable).
• Open the front panel.
• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up
and out.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing
detergent and warm water. Rinse filter
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water
from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly
dry before replacing.
• Or instead of washing, you may vacuum
the filter clean.
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to
prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet
and front may be dusted with an oil-free
cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on
the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the
cloth before wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls
may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in air conditioner.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds,
curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
• The capacity of the room air conditioner
must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation.
• Install the room air conditioner on the
shady side of your home. A window that
faces north is best because it is shaded
most of the day.
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall
registers so cool air does not escape up
the chimney and into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows
closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
section “Care and Cleaning”.
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in
your home will help keep warm air out and
cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants
or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner’s work load.
• Operate heat producing appliances such
as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the
day.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner
during the winter, remove it carefully from
the window according to the installation
instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it
to the original carton.
