Maintenance Section 4
OTHER MONTHLY TASKS
Air Filters
For units equipped with upper and/or lower air filters. Each
month check the air filters to be sure they are clean and
allow proper airflow.
Air Filter Locations
First access the rear of the unit. Slide them out one at a
time and inspect them. If they are dirty or light will not
pass through them 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 them 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.
