2. Insert the air intake grille into the slots on the air conditioner and snap into place.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air lter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean lter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter at least once per month to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the lter in place. Doing so will degrade the unit performance over time.

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent.

NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a re hazard.

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

1. Remove the air conditioner according to the installation

instructions.

2. Cover the air conditioner with plastic or place it back into the

original box.
