BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
AIR CONDITIONER
It is your responsibilityto make
surethat your air conditioner:
l Has been properly installed.
l Is the right size for the area you want
to cool.
l Is properly connected to electricity.
l Is properly electrically grounded.
l Is properly used only for the job it was
intended to do.
l Is not used by children or anyone not
able to operate it properly.
l Is properly maintained.
l Also, remove energy label and buy guide.
Use damp cloth to take off any glue
residue. Do not use a sharp instrument
or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Energy SavingTips
l Improve home insulation (seal doors,
windows, and close fireplace flue).
l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house; add window awnings.
l Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow
with drapes or furniture.
l Ventilate attic (high temperature levels
add to normal cooling load).
l Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn
lights, radios, televisions, and other
appliances off when not needed.
l Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.
l Use a vent fan in areas where cooking,
laundry, or bathing is done to pull out
extra heat and moisture near its source.

. Pick the right wall. First, decide what room(s)
vou want to cool. Then choose a wall that
will allow the air-conditioned air to flow
freely and directly into the room(s) you want
cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to move air
around corners. Choose a location that’s
also near an electrical outlet. (Refer to the
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT pages for
type of receptacle and wiring needed.) Do
not use an extension cord. CAUTION: DO
NOT LOCATE AIR CONDITIONER WHERE
PLASTIC CABINET FRONT WILL BE
EXPOSED TO A HEAT SOURCE THAT
RAISES THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE

Cleaning and Caring For Your
Air Conditioner
Proper use and care of your air conditioner will
help insure longer life and lower operating costs.
Follow these instructions carefully. Call your
dealer for an annual checkup.
Cleaning of Front Frame
1 . Remove the front panel from unit when
cleaning. Press down at top edge of the
2
front as shown in Figure 9.
l When front moves away from top of cabinet,
3
pull top of front toward you.
. Lift up and away from bottom spring clips.
Cleaning Air Conditioner Filter
The filter is cleanable. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint and other particles from the
air. Check every two weeks to see if filter
needs cleaning.
1
. Remove filter from plastic front frame, by
removing elastic band which holds it in
place (see Figure 10).
2
. Clean filter, using a vacuum cleaner.
-OR-
*
3 l If very dirty, wash filter with warm water
and mild detergent. Air dry thoroughly
4
before replacing.
l Clean front frame with warm water and mild
soap or detergent. Use a soft cloth. Rinse and
dry. Replace front frame.
5
. Wipe control panel clean with a soft dry cloth.
Annual Maintenance for Your
Air Conditioner
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to
help insure steady, top performance throughout
the year.
Call the service company recommended by your
dealer to:
l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate
water passages.
l Check fan and oil the fan motor.
l The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.
Expense of annual inspection is customer’s
responsibility. - or ~
If you are familiar with electrical appliances,
you can do the cleaning and maintenance
yourself. If you decide to go ahead, follow
these steps:

REMOVE UNIT FROM CABINET. Wrap the
motor, electrical control box and electrical
terminals box in plastic film and make sure no
water or other liquid gets inside any of these
parts. It could damage the insulation and
cause serious trouble.
Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils
and condensate pans. Clean at least once a
year or more often, if the condenser coils and
pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae.
Also, clean if you detect an odor from the
air conditioner. While the cabinet is open,
this is a good time to oil the fan motor.
Remove plastic film from motor and electrical
parts.
Replace unit in cabinet.
NOTE: It’s a good idea to wait 24 hours
before starting the unit again. This allows
time for all areas to dry out. The water from
rainfall or from normal operation does not
harm these components.
1
l Oil the fan motor per instructions on the
motor. To add oil, pull out the oil hole plug
at each end of the motor. (See Figure 11).
An easy to use one-ounce capsule of especially
recommended oil (Part No. 10943) can be orderd
from your dealer, or use SAE #20 non-detergent
2
oil.
l Replace the plug to keep dirt from motor
