CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING : Turn off the unit before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

CLEANING THE FILTER
If the filter is clogged with dust, the amount of air flow will be reduced, resulting in poor cooling performance. The filter should be cleaned for every 10 days. At the beginning of every cooling season or if the air conditioner has not been used for a long period, clean the filter before starting to operate the unit.

1. REMOVE THE FILTER
Open the grille by gently pulling the arrow marked portion. Then lift and unhook the bottom of the air filter and remove it. CAUTION: Do not open the grille extremely wide, or provide stress to the opened grille. The grille may come off, or the grille shaft may get damaged. If the grille should come off, replace it by following instructions given in page E-3 "CAUTION".
