MAINTENANCE
COMPRESSOR
The compressor requires no maintenance. It is hermetically sealed, properly lubricated at the factory and should
provide years of satisfactory operating service.
Under no circumstances should the access tting covers be loosened, removed or tampered with.
Breaking of seals on compressor access ttings during warranty period will void warranty on hermetic system.
Recharging ports are provided for the ease and convenience of reputable refrigeration repair service personnel for
recharging the air conditioner.
INLET AIR FILTER
This air conditioner was designed with a dust resistant condenser coil. This allows it to be run lterless in most
applications. The air conditioner is shipped with a lter in place for your convenience. For lterless operation,
simply remove the lter. Should you decide the lter is necessary in your application, regular maintenance to
clean this lter will assure normal operation of the air conditioner. The easily removable inlet air lter is located
behind the front cover. If necessary lter maintenance is delayed or ignored, the maximum ambient temperatures
under which the unit is designed to operate will be decreased.
If the compressor’s operating temperature increases above designed conditions due to a dirty or clogged
lter (or plugged condenser coil), the air conditioner’s compressor will stop operating due to actuation of the
thermal overload cut-out switch located on the compressor housing. As soon as the compressor temperature
has dropped to within the switch’s cut-in setting, the compressor will restart automatically. However the above
condition will continue to take place until the lter or coil has been cleaned. It is recommended that power to
the air conditioner be interrupted intentionally when abnormally high compressor operating temperature causes
automatic shut-down of the unit. The above described shut-down is symptomatic of a clogged or dirty lter, thus
causing a reduction in cooling air ow across the surface of the compressor and condenser coil.
HOW TO REMOVE, CLEAN OR INSTALL A NEW INLET AIR FILTER
RP aluminum washable air lters are designed to provide excellent ltering eciency with a high dust holding
capacity and a minimum amount of resistance to air ow. Because they are constructed entirely of aluminum
they are lightweight and easy to service. To achieve maximum performance from your air handling equipment, air
lters should be cleaned on a regular basis.
The inlet air lter is located behind the front access cover. To remove lter, push or pull to slide lter out from
either side of the unit. The lter may now be cleaned or a new lter installed.
Cleaning Instructions:
1. Flush the lter with warm water from the exhaust side to the intake side. DO NOT USE CAUSTICS.
2. After ushing, allow lter to drain. Placing it with a corner down will assure complete drainage.
