NS-AC10PWH9 / NS-AC12PWH9 / NS-AC10PWH9-C / NS-AC12PWH9-C Cleaning and maintaining your air conditioner Your air conditioner is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. For maximum efficiency, we recommend that you have the cooling coils inspected and cleaned annually by a professional technician. Warning: • Unplug the air conditioner before cleaning or performing any maintenance or service. • Be careful when cleaning coils or removing or reinstalling the filter. The cooling fins are very sharp. • Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electric shock or personal injury. Cleaning the case • Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Caution: To prevent damage to the finish, do not use: • Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents. • Abrasive cleaners. Never pour water onto or into the air conditioner. It could damage the internal components and create a shock or fire hazard. Cleaning the air filter The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks. Depending on indoor air quality, the filter may require cleaning more often. A dirty air filter decreases the airflow and reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filter in place. 1 Lift the air filter out by the handle. Filter 2 Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. If the filter is very dirty, it can be washed by hand in warm water with a mild detergent. Cautions: • Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot water. • Do not wash in a dishwasher or washing machine. 3 Let the filter dry completely, then reinstall it in the air conditioner. Filter guide Note: When the filter is not replaced in the air conditioner correctly, there is a gap between the filter case and the unit. www.insigniaproducts.com 15
