media pad. A damp cloth can be used to remove calcium build-
up inside and outside of the unit. The dust lter/cover can be
removed easily and can be cleaned weekly. The inside of the
water reservoir can be cleaned once or twice in a season to
maintain air quality.

panel by unhooking the tab located in the top of the rear panel.
Wash cooling pad with water and soft bristled brush to remove
debris and mineral build-up. Fill up the reservoir with fresh
water and drain. Repeat the procedure to remove debris and
