CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once every two weeks to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils and reduce performance.

• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the filter using warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
• Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
• Instead of washing, you may also vacuum the filter clean rather than washing.

NOTICE
Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

• Never use harsh cleansers, wax, or polish on the air conditioner.

• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls.
  Excess water in or around the controls will cause damage to the air conditioner.

• Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Be careful not to spill any potentially standing water from the unit’s base pan. If water is present, carefully drain it. Cover the unit with plastic or return it to the original carton.
