NOTE:
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new,
minimize dust build up and for optimal performance.
The air filter should be checked at least once a
month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles
and dust can build up in the filter and may
decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils
to accumulate frost.
To clean the air filter, power the unit off and:
Power off an unplug the air conditioner to
prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and
front panel of the air conditioner may be dusted
with an oil-free cloth or wiped down with a
damp cloth in a solution of warm water and
mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a damp
cloth and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleaner, wax or polish on the
front of the cabinet.
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for
an extended period of time, remove it carefully from
the window according to the installation instructions
and cover it with plastic or place it in the original
box. Remove the batteries from the remote before
storing.
