The air filter behind the inlet grille should be
checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks
(or as necessary) to maintain optimal performance
of the air conditioner.

Tum off the unit, tum off the circuit breaker
1. Hold the tabs under the front panel, then
uplift it outwards over the protection tab or
remove the front panel.
• 2. Pinch the handle under the air filter and
make the air filter arched, remove it from the
slot from underside to upside.
3. Clean the filter with warm soap water. The
water should be below 40°C to prevent
distortion of the filter.

from the filter. Allow the filter to dry before
placing back. To prevent distortion of the
filter, do not dry under direct sunlight.

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 excessive water from the cloth before wiping around the controls.
•
Excessive water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

Plug in air conditioner.
NOTE:
Never use water over 40˚ C , alcohol, gasoline, acid, solvent or brush to clean the front
panel as this will damage the surface of the part.
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 plastic or place it to the original
carton.
CAUTION
NEVER operate the air conditioner without the air filter, as dust/dirt particles can contribute
