Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to
unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning
is
necessary.
Trapped
particles
in the filter
can build up and block air from flowing
to cooling
coils and cause an accumulation
of frost on the cooling coils.
. Grasp
the filter
by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the filter
using liquid dishwashing
detergent
and warm water.
Rinse
filter
thoroughly.
Gently
shake excess water
from the filter.
Be sure filter
is
thoroughly
dry before
replacing.
• Or instead of washing,
you may vacuum the filter
clean.
Cabinet Cleaning
* Be sure to unplug the air conditioner
to prevent
shock or fire 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 cleaners,
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 may cause damage
to the
air conditioner.
" Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner
during the winter, remove it carefully
from the window
according
to the installation
instructions. Cover
it with cloth
or return it to the original
carton.
NOTE: Store air conditioner
in a dry place in upright
position
(horizon-
tal with
base down).

Ideas
The capacity
of the room air conditioner
must fit the room size for efficient
and satisfactory
operation.
Install the room air conditioner
on the shady side of your home. A window
that faces north is best because
it is shaded
most of the day.
Do not block inside airflow
around
air conditioner
with blinds, curtains or
furniture;
or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
Close the fireplace
damper,
floor
and wall registers
so cool air does not
escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes
in other windows closed during
the sunniest part of
the day.
Clean the air filter
as recommended
in the section _Care and Cleaning."
Proper insulation
and weather
stripping
in your home will help keep warm air
out and cool air in.
External
house shading
with trees, plants or awnings
will help reduce the
air conditioner's
work load.
Operate
heat producing
appliances
such as ranges, washers, dryers
and
dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.
