To store the air conditioner when it is not in use
for an extended period of time, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in
the original box.
Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oilfree cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap.
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth 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.
Energy Saving Ideas
• Do not block the 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 receives the least amount
of sun exposure.
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall
registers so cool air does not escape.
• Keep blinds and drapes closed for cooling
and open for heating.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
“care and cleaning” section.
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in
your home will help limit cool air loss.
• External house shading with trees, plants, or
awnings helps reduce the air conditioner’s
work load.
• Operate heat producing appliances during the
coolest part of the day. Such as a dishwasher, oven, or computer.
