Air filter B

2 Hold the edge of the air filter and slide the filter upwards .

3 Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filter. If the dust on the air filter is heavy,
wash it in warm water with a milde detergent. Do not wash the air filter in the
dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry filter completely before
replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.

4 Install the air filter in the reverse order of step 1 and 2.

CAUTION Do not expose the air filter to direct sunlight or fire while drying.
Note The air filter can prevent the dust or other particulate from going
inside. In case of blockage of the filter, the working efficiency of
the air conditioner may greatly decrease. Therefore, the filter
must be cleaned every two weeks during long time usage.
If the air conditioner is positioned in a dust place, the cleaning
frequency of the air filter must be increased .
If the accumulated dust is too heavy to be cleaned, please replace
the filter with a new one(replaceable air filter is an optional
fitting).

 Cleaning the Air Filter and Maintenance (Continued)

Maintenance

1 Filters must be cleaned or replaced when they become dirty.

Inspect at least once per month. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the
hours of operation and the local atmospheric conditions.
Clean filters keep unit efficiency high.

2 If the coil needs to be cleaned or replaced, it should be washed with Calgon

coilclean (mix one part coilclean to seven parts water).
Allow solution to remain on coil for 30 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
Solution should not be permitted to come in contact with painted surfaces.

3 The bearings of the blower motor are permanently lubricated.

4 During the cooling season, check the condensate drain lines to be sure that
condensate is flowing from the primary drain but not from the secondary drain.
If condensate ever flows from the secondary drain, the unit should be promptly
shut off and the condensate pan and drains cleaned to insure a free flowing
primary drain.
