OTHER MONTHLY TASKS
Air Filters
For units equipped with an air filter. Each month check the
air filter to be sure it is clean and allows proper airflow.
Air Filter Location
First access the rear of the unit, slide it out and inspect. If it
is dirty or light will not pass through when held up to light,
take to a sink and wash with dish soap until clean. DO NOT
put in a dishwasher.
Once clean, slide it back into place on the unit and move
unit back into place.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the
condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease
regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every
three months. If conditions are such that the condenser is
totally blocked in three months, the frequency of cleaning
should be increased. Clean the condenser with a vacuum
cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercially
available condenser cleaner may be required.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause
high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous
operation with a dirty or clogged condenser coil can
result in compressor failure. Neglecting the condenser coil
cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated
with the compressor and cost to replace the compressor.

Caution
Never use a high-pressure water wash for this cleaning
procedure as water can damage the electrical
components located near or at the condenser coil.
Exterior Cleaning
Remove dust and dirt from the exterior surfaces with a mild
household dish washing detergent and warm water. Wipe
dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Use cleaners designed for use with stainless steel products.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel wool.
Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They will
scratch the panels.
Plastic exterior panels and UI (User Interface) Screen should
be cleaned with a mild household dish washing detergent
and warm water on a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
