■ Care and Cleaning
WARNING
1. For safety, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and
also to disconnect the power before cleaning.
2. Do not pour water on the indoor unit to clean it. This
will damage the internal components and cause an
electric shock hazard.
Air intake and outlet side (Indoor unit)
Clean the air intake and outlet side of the indoor unit with a
vacuum cleaner brush, or wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.
If these parts are stained, use a clean cloth moistened with
water. When cleaning the air outlet side, be careful not to force
the vanes out of place.
CAUTION
1. Never use solvents or harsh chemicals when cleaning
the indoor unit. Do not wipe plastic parts using very
hot water.

cause injury if handled improperly; be especially
careful when you clean these parts.
3. The internal coil and other components of the outdoor
unit must be cleaned regularly. Consult your dealer or
service center.
Air fi lter
The air filter collects dust and other particles from the air and
should be cleaned at regular intervals as indicated in the table

cleaning. If the filter gets blocked, the efficiency of the air
conditioner drops greatly.
