10. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Power must be turned off before attempting any kind of cleaning.
Before performing maintenance, turn the power off to the unit and then
disconnect the power to the circuit at the breaker. Failure to do this could cause
electrical shock and injury.
DO NOT use benzene, thinner, polishing powder, or similar solvents for cleaning. These could
cause the plastic to deform and/or crack.
DO NOT clean the unit with excessive amounts of water.
DO NOT touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when
handling the sharp metal edges.
DO NOT use water to clean the inside of the unit. Exposure to water can destroy the
insulation, which could lead to electric shock.
DO NOT use a chemically treated cloth or duster to clean the unit.
DO NOT touch the air freshening (Plasma) filter for at least 10 minutes after turning off the
unit.
DO NOT clean the unit with combustible cleaning agents. These could cause fire and/or
deformation of the unit.
DO NOT wash the air filter with water hotter than 104°F (40°C).
DO NOT expose the filter to direct sunlight, as this could cause it to shrink. Allow the filter to
dry in the shade.
10.1 CLEANING THE INDOOR UNIT
Exterior:
Wipe the exterior of the indoor unit with a soft dry cloth. If the unit is very dirty, wipe it with a
cloth soaked in warm water.
NOTE: A clogged air filter can greatly reduce heating and cooling efficiency of this
unit. It is recommended to clean the unit every 2 weeks
.
Air Filter and Air Freshener:
1. Open the front by carefully lifting both ends at the same time. While lifting, at a certain
angle there will be an audible click and the lid will become self-supporting.
