English Care and Cleaning Guide • Always unplug your air conditioner before cleaning. • Air filter needs to be cleaned at least once a month for your unit to operate at optimum efficiency. The filter can be slid out from the back by pulling on the tab. The filter may be washed or vacuumed. Remove the excess water from the filter by gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped in the filter. After cleaning, reinstall the filter. DO NOT use your air conditioner without the air filter in place. • To clean the cabinet DO NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your air conditioner. • Always use a soft cloth dampened with water or mild soap and water solution to wipe the front of the cabinet. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Storage • To store your air conditioner when not being used for a long period of time, drain condensed water using the drain pipe.
