Do not use hot water over 40°C (104°F) and never operate the unit without the air filter.
- Cabinet Cleaning: Unplug the unit. Dust the cabinet and front with an oil-free cloth or wash with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Avoid harsh cleaners, wax, or polish. Wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around controls to prevent damage.
