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.
1. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter.
2. If the air filter is very dirty, use the liquid dish soap and warm
water to wash the filter.
3. Rinse the filter properly and shake the filter gently to remove
the excess water.
4. Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air
conditioner to ensure maximum efficiency.
NOTE: Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the filter.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Unplug the air conditioner.
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

Cover the air conditioner with an appropriate cover to block
outside air flow and to provide insulation.
