Caring for Your Air Conditioner<br />
Your new air conditioner is <strong>de</strong>signed to give you many years of <strong>de</strong>pendable service. This section tells you how to clean<br />
<strong>and</strong> care for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized <strong>de</strong>aler for an annual checkup. Remember… the cost<br />
of this service call is your responsibility.<br />
Cleaning the air filter<br />
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps<br />
remove dust, lint, <strong>and</strong> other particles from the air <strong>and</strong> is<br />
important for best cooling or heating <strong>and</strong> operating efficiency.<br />
Check the filter every 2 weeks to see if it needs cleaning. Do<br />
not operate the air conditioner without the filter in place.<br />
1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.<br />
2. Sli<strong>de</strong> the air filter up <strong>and</strong> out the top of the front panel.<br />
3. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very<br />
dirty, wash it in warm water with mild <strong>de</strong>tergent.<br />
Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any<br />
chemical cleaners. Air dry filter thoroughly before replacing<br />
to ensure maximum efficiency.<br />
4. Sli<strong>de</strong> the air filter back down into opening in the top of the<br />
front panel.<br />
5. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.<br />

Repairing paint damage<br />

good gra<strong>de</strong> enamel paint.<br />
