AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of 
dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care 
for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer 
for an annual checkup. Remember… the cost of this service call 
is your responsibility.

Cleaning the Air Filter 

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps 
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important 
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter every 
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning. 

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in 
place.

1. Turn off air conditioner.

2. Remove air filter by pulling down on the indents in the top or 

sides of filter door and sliding air filter up and out. Filter door 
is not removable.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If air filter is very dirty, 

wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash air 
filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry 
filter completely before replacing to ensure maximum 
efficiency.

4. Replace air filter by sliding filter down into filter door and 

closing filter door.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.

2. Clean front panel with a soft, damp cloth. 

3. Air dry front panel completely.

4. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.

Repairing Paint Damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very 
important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a 
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy-
duty cover over air conditioner cabinet. For information on 
ordering a heavy-duty cover, see “Accessories.”

Annual Maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure 
steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local 
authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense 
of an annual inspection is your responsibility.

Normal Sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear 
sounds such as:

■

Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or 
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.

■

Air movement from the fan.

■

Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

■

Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.

■

A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern 
high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
