El a CLEAN AIR FILTER:
A message prompt “El” will automatically appear in
the LED window indicating, when it is time to clean
the air filter. The El program is a (built-in) time
device that operates based on total (air conditioner)
running time. It is very important to keep the air filter
clean at all times in order to maximize cooling
efficiency. (See Cleaning Air Filter) The air filter
“must” be cleaned when the “El” message is
displayed. To cancel (eliminate) the El message
from the LED display, the air conditioner “must” be
disconnected (unplugged) from the power supply
and re-connected. This action automatically re-sets
the “El” program internal time device.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the “El”
program is automatically re-set, therefore we
suggest you remove and clean the filter before re¬
starting the unit.

green pilot light under the “°C/T” (temperature
symbol) will illuminate, identifying the mode
selection.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
When servicing the air conditioner, be sure to
turn the air conditioner to the “OFF” position
and disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
1. DO NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner or other
chemicals on the air conditioner, as these

and deformation of plastic parts.
2. Never attempt to pour water directly on unit as
this will cause deterioration of the electrical
insulation.
3. W hen the air inlet grill and cabinet are dirty,
wash in lukewarm water, (below 40°C (104°F):
For very dirty conditions, wash with soapy water
or a neutral cleaning agent.
AIR FILTER INFORMATION
The air filter plays an important role effecting overall
performance levels of any air conditioner. A clean air
filter will maximize cooling efficiency. A dirty air filter
will minimize cooling efficiency. It is important to
keep the air filter “clean” at all times.This unit is
inclusive of a program that will display a message
prompt “El” (= CLEAN AIR FILTER) in the LED
display indicating when it is time to clean the air
filter.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:

grill. To remove the air filter, grasp the filter handle
located on the front of the grill and slide - it (out) to
the right.
To reinstall the air filter, reverse
the above procedures.
CLEANING AIR FILTER

to remove heavy soil.
2. Wash the filter in lukewarm water, (below 40°C
104°F): If the filter is very dirty filter, wash with
soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent. (NEVER
WASH AIR FILTER IN DISHWASHER)

filter as they may damage the plastic and filter
mesh.
3. Rinse the filter with clean water and
dry thoroughly before re-installing.
CAUTION ik
NEVER operate the air conditioner without the
air filter, as dust/dirt particles can contribute to
equipment failure.
