For maximum efficiency, it is recommended
that you have the cooling coils inspected and
cleaned annually. Your local LG Authorized
Service Center can provide this inspection
and cleaning service for a nominal fee.
WARNING

•Be careful when cleaning coils or removing or reinstalling the filter-the cooling fins

CLEANING THE CASE
Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe dry
with a dry cloth or towel.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks; depending on indoor air quality, more
frequent cleaning may be needed. A dirty air filter will decrease airflow and reduce efficiency.
Do not operate the air conditioner without
the air filter in place.
Lift out the air filter by the handle.
1
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filter. If the filter is
heavily soiled, it can be washed in warm water using a
mild detergent.
Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot water.
Do not wash in a dishwasher.
Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling.
Reinsert the filter.
