CLEANING AND CARE
●
Before cleaning the indoor unit, be sure to turn it off and disconnect the Power Supply Cord.
●
Be sure the Intake Grille (Fig. 1
8
) is installed securely.
●
When removing or replacing the air fi lters, be sure not to touch the heat exchanger, as person-
al injury may result.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the Intake Grille
1. Remove the Intake Grille.
1 Place your fingers at both lower ends of the grille
panel, and lift forward; if the grille seems to catch
partway through its movement, continue lifting up-
ward to remove.
2 Pull past the intermediate catch and open the Intake
Grille wide so that it become horizontal.
2. Clean with water.
Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner; wipe the indoor
unit with warm water, then dry with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Replace the Intake Grille.
1 Pull the knobs all the way.
2 Hold the grille horizontal and set the left and right
mounting shafts into the bearings at the top of the
panel.
3 Press the place where the arrow on the diagram in-
dicates and close the Intake Grille.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the Intake Grille, and remove the air
fi lter.
Lift up the air filter’s handle, disconnect the 2 lower
tabs, and pull out.
2. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner or by
washing.
After washing, allow to dry thoroughly in a shaded
place.
3. Replace the Air Filter and close the Intake
Grille.
1 Align the sides of the air fi lter with the panel, and
push in fully, making sure the 2 lower tabs are re-
turned properly to their holes in the panel.
2 Close the Intake Grille.
(For purposes of example, the illustration shows the in-
door unit without Intake Grille installed.)
●
Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a
vacuum cleaner, or by washing the fi lter in a solution of
neutral detergent and warm water. If you wash the fi lter,
be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place
before reinstalling.
●
If dust is allowed to accumulate on the air fi lter, airfl ow will be
reduced, lowering operating effi ciency and increasing noise.
●
During periods of normal use, the Air Filters should be
cleaned every 2 weeks.
●
Don't operate the air conditioner with being opened the
intake grille.
●
When used for extended periods, the indoor unit may accumulate dust inside, reducing its performance. We recom-
mend that the indoor unit be inspected regularly, in addition to your own cleaning and care. For more information,
consult authorized service personnel.
●
When cleaning the indoor unit’s body, do not use water hotter than 104 °F, harsh abrasive cleansers, or volatile agents
like benzene or thinner.
●
Do not expose the indoor unit’s body to liquid insecticides or hairsprays.
●
When shutting down the indoor unit for 1 month or more, fi rst allow the fan mode to operate continuously for half a
day to allow internal parts to dry thoroughly.
