Care and Cleaning
Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used when the outdoor temperature is below freezing (32°F).
Grille and Case Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning. |
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. |
|
Air Filter The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary. To remove: Slide the filter from the left side of the unit. Remove the filter. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher. |
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance. |
|
Outdoor Coils The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they may be professionally cleaned. |

- You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
- Water will collect in the base pan duringhigh humidity or on rainy days. The watermay overflow and drip from the outdoor sideof the unit.
- The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
