Cleaning and maintaining your portable air conditioner
Your air conditioner is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance.
For maximum efficiency, we recommend that you have the cooling coils inspected and cleaned annually by a professional
technician.
Cleaning the case
• Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe dry with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the air filter
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks. Depending on indoor air quality, the filter may require cleaning more
often. A dirty air filter decreases the airflow and reduces the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Do not operate your air conditioner without the air filter in place.
1 Pull the air filter out the side of the unit by the filter handle.
2 Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, it can be washed by hand in warm water with a mild
detergent.
3 Let the filter dry completely, then reinstall it in your air conditioner.
Warning:
• Unplug your air conditioner before cleaning or performing any maintenance or service.
• Be careful when cleaning coils or removing or reinstalling the filter. The cooling fins are very sharp.
• Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electric shock or personal injury.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the finish, do not use:
• Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
• Abrasive cleaners.
Never pour water onto or into your air conditioner. It could damage the internal components and create a shock or fire hazard.
Cautions:
• Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot water.
• Do not wash in a dishwasher or washing machine.
Note: When the filter is not replaced in your air conditioner correctly, there is a gap between the filter case and the unit.
