AUGER WHEELS Air Directional Louvers

type described below.

Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver

Auger Type

The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right

(8-WAY)

Care and Cleaning

throughout the room as needed. Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired

Up/Down direction is obtained.

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug

the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or firehazards,

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation

of frost on the cooling coils.

• Remove filter by sliding out from the right side.

• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is

thoroughly dry before replacing.

• Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.

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 excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls,

Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner,

° Plug in air conditioner,

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 return

it to the original carton

Energy Saving Ideas "

02009 Electrolux Home Products, Inc,

Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with

shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation

Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home A window that faces

north is best because it is shaded most of the day Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work

Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day

Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning",

Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in

External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work load

Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day
