Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Before cleaning, be sure to unplug
the unit from any and all power sources to prevent electric shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter
The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning. Never use hot
water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air
filter. Trapped particles and dust can build up over time, which can result in decreased airflow and
can cause the coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air filter:
1.
Pull the grille out from the indents on both sides at the front and remove the filter inside.
2.
Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently
shake the filter to remove excess water.
3.
Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air conditioner.
Note: If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the filter to remove the dust
and other particles.
Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner's cabinet:
• Using a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap, wipe down the unit
and the front panel. Then, using a clean dampened cloth, make sure to wipe down the unit to
remove all excess soap and continue to dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring out excess water from the cloth before wiping round the control. Excess water
may damage the unit.
Storage
If you want to store the unit when not in use, we recommend removing the drain plug at the back
of the unit and slightly tilting the unit towards the rear to drain any water in the pan in a safe
manner. Next, clean the unit and then store it back in the original packaging or box until next use.
