dirt build--up that will occur on the inside of the coil. If clogged with dirt or soot, coil should be
professionally cleaned.

BASE PAN
In some installations, dirt or other debris may be blown into unit from outside and settle in base pan

AIR FILTERS
IMPORTANT: TURN UNIT OFF BEFORE CLEANING
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.
Do not operate unit without filters in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged, it should be replaced immediately.
Operating without filters in place or with damaged filters will allow dirt and dust to reach indoor coil and reduce
cooling, heating, airflow and efficiency of unit. Airflow restriction may cause damage to unit.
Themost important thing you can do to maintain unit efficiency is to clean the filters at least every 30 days
(or sooner depending on application). Clogged filters reduce cooling, heating and airflow.
Keeping filters clean will:
Decrease cost of operation.
Save energy.
Prevent clogged indoor coil.
Reduce risk of premature component failure.
To Clean Air Filters:
Vacuum off heavy soil.
Run water through filters.
Dry thoroughly before replacing.
