Maintenance
Clean the air conditioner and filters regularly to maximize performance and efficiency and prolong
the unit’s life. Be sure to always unplug the air conditioner from the power outlet before cleaning.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped
particles in the filter can build up and potentially cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling
coils.
1. Push the vent handle to the “vent closed” position.
2. Grasp the filter, pull up and out.
3. Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly.
4. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing
it.
5. You also have the option of cleaning the filter with a vacuum.
Cabinet Cleaning
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front
may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm
water and mild dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water
in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
NOTE: Winter Storage- If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully
from the window according to the installation instructions. Make sure to clean the unit thoroughly
and cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton. Always store the unit upright in a cool, dry
location.
Warning: Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate
the unit without the air filter.
