supplied):
1. Remove the filter access panel using a 5/16-in. nut driver.
2. Remove the filter(s) by pulling it out of the unit. If the filter(s)
is dirty, clean or replace with a new one.

arrow's on the filter frame.
If you have difl'iculty locating your air filter(s) or have questions
concerning proper filter maintenance, contact your dealer for
instructions. When replacing filters, ahvays use the same size and
type of filter that was supplied, originally, by the installer.
