This Exhaust Control allows the air conditioner to
either circulate inside air (Closed) or exhaust air to
the outside (Open).
The Closed position is used when maximum cooling
is desired. It may also be used for air recirculation
without cooling when the air conditioner is set in any
FAN position.
The Open position removes stale air from the room
and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn in
through normal passages in the home.

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
!
Clean air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking and operating like new. Be sure to
unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned at least every two weeks or as
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water.
Rinse filter thoroughly.
Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is
thoroughly dry before replacing.
As an alternative, vacuum the filter clean.
NOTE: Never use hot water over 104 F (40 C) to clean the air filter.
Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.
N
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 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 the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner after unit has dried completely.
Winter Storage
If air conditioner will be stored 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. Always store unit in upright position.
