Winter Storage
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and
front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution
of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleansers, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in air conditioner.

Cleaning
CAUTION
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the
unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
NOTICE
Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to
operate the unit without the air filter.
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the
window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to
the original carton.
Care and Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped
particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
• Push the vent handle to the closed position (where applicable). Open the front panel.
• Take the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
• Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
• You may also vacuum the filter clean rather than washing.
