Additional Features
Air Direction
Adjusting the air direction using the
horizontal air deflector control.
Using the control tabs, the air flow can
be directed to the left, right, straight
ahead, or any combination of these
directions.
Drain Pipe
in humid weather, excess water may cause the Base Pan to overflow. To drain
the water, remove the Drain Cap and secure the Drain Pipe to the rear hole of
the Base Pan.
Press the drain pipe into the hole by pushing down and away from the fins to
avoid injury.
This air conditioner is equipped with a slinger fan. (See drawing, below.)
The fan has an outer ring that runs in the water that collects in the base pan
if it gets deep. That condensate is then picked up by the fan and expelled
through the condenser, making the air conditioner more efficient.
CAUTION: Be careful when inserting the drain pipe. Push away from the
sharp fin area to avoid slipping injuring yourself.
Removal From Window
Turn the air conditioner off. disconnect the power cord, remove the L bracket,
the screws and Support Bracket installed through the top and bottom of the
guide panels. and save for reinstallation later. Close the guide panels.
Keeping a firm grip on the air conditioner, raise the sash, and carefully tilt
the air conditioner backward, draining any condensate. Lift the air
conditioner from the window and remove the sash seal from between the windows.
Be sure to drain ALL condensate from the air conditioner. If you don’t, it
could run out while you carry the unit, making a mess and creating a slipping
hazard. This simple step will save you much cleaning and make a safer work
environment.
Maintenance and Service
Air Filter
Check the air filter at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particies in the filter can build up and block the airflow, reducing
cooling capacity and causing an accumulation of frost on the evaporator. To
clean the air filter:
- Lift the inlet grille.
- Remove the air filter from the front grille by pulling the air filter up slightly.
- Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 °C (104 °F).
- Gently shake the excess water from the filter and replace.
Cleaning The Air Conditioner
The front grille and Inlet grille may be wiped with a cloth dampened in a mild
detergent solution.
The cabinet may be washed with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water, then
polished with Liquid Wax for Appliances. To ensure continued peak efficiency,
the condenser coils (outside of unit) should be checked periodically and
cleaned if clogged with soot or dirt from the atmosphere.
How to Remove the Front Grille
-
Remove the thermostat knob and the operation knob by pulling.
-
Remove the screw securing the Front Grille.
-
Pull the inlet grille forward
-
Remove the screw securing the Front Grille.
-
Push the grille up from the bottom and pull the top of the grille away from the case as the top tabs lift out of their slots.
Common Problems and Solison
