AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of
dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care
for your air conditioner properly.

On some models, the air filter is located behind the intake grille
of air conditioner.

intake grille and pulling the grille away from the air conditioner.

tabs on the top and bottom of the grille.

2. Insert the air intake grille into the slots on the air conditioner
and snap into place.
Air Filter Removal—Side Insert
On some models, the air filter slides out the side of the intake
grille.

Remove the filter by grasping the tab on the filter and pulling it
out of the grille to the side.
Reinstalling the air filter:

Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter at least
once per month to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in
place. Doing so will degrade the unit performance over time.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If the air filter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the filter. Air dry the air filter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a fire hazard.
2. Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
Repairing Paint Damage
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very
important, especially in areas near saltwater or where rust is a
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

Winter Storage

instructions.
