cleaning and maintaining your
air conditioner
When cleaning the filter, make sure to unplug the power from the unit. No special tools are needed to clean
it.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
1. Wipe the surface of the appliance with a slightly wet or
dry cloth when needed.
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Bleach.
They may damage the surface of the unit and can create
a risk of fire.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
1. Open the front grille and slide the air filter out inserted at
the back of the front grille.
2. Clean the Air filter with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush. If dust is too heavy, then rinse it with
running water and dry it in a ventilated area.
• For best conditions, repeat every two weeks.
• If the air filter dries in a confined (or humid) area, odors may generate. If this occurs,
re-clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
3. Insert the Air filter back in its original position.
4. Close the front panel.
MAINTAINING THE AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, dry it thoroughly and disconnect from the wall.
There may be internal damage if moisture is left in its components.
1. Before storing the appliance, operate the air conditioner in Fan mode for three to four hours to
dry the air conditioner completely.
2. Upon removing from storage, dry the inner components of the air conditioner again by
running in Fan mode for three to four hours. This helps remove odors which may have
generated from dampness.
