CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Air Filter Cleaning
Cabinet Cleaning
Winter Storage
The air lter should be checked at least once every two
weeks to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in
the lter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost
on the cooling coils and reduce performance.
• Grasp the lter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the lter using warm water. Rinse lter thoroughly.
• Gently shake excess water from the lter. Be sure the
lter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
• Instead of washing, you may also vacuum the lter clean
rather than washing.
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or re 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 liquid
dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleansers, 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 will cause damage to the air conditioner.
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instructions. Cover the unit with plastic or return it to the original carton.
CAUTION
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to
prevent shock or re hazards.
Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air lter.
Never attempt to operate the unit without the air lter.
