Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call the service company recommended by your dealer to: l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages. l Check fan. The compressor and fan motor are sealed and need no oiling. The expense of an annual inspection is the customer�s responsibility. OR If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these steps: NOTE: Do not lift, push, or pull any white beaded foam (expanded polystyrene) parts. 1. Unplug the power cord. 2. Remove air conditioner from window. 3. Remove the front panel. (See �Cleaning the front panel and air filter� on page 7.)

Excessive Weight Hazard Use 2 or more people to move and install air conditioner. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
