CARE AND CLEANING Your air conditioner is designed for year-round operation with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that you have the cooling coils inspected and cleaned annually. Your local LG Authorized Service Center can provide this inspection and cleaning service for a nominal fee.
