Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep
it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before
cleaning to prevent shock or re hazards.
• Remove the lter by sliding it out from
the right-hand side.
• Wash the lter using liquid dish-washing detergent
and warm water. Rinse lter thoroughly. Gently
shake excess water from the lter. Be sure the lter
is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of
washing, you may vacuum the lter clean.
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock
or re 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 dish-washing
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.
The air lter should be checked at least once a
month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped
particles in the lter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
