dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care

for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer

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.

place.

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

wash it in warm water with mild detergent. Do not wash air

filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners.

NOTE: Air dry filter completely before replacing to ensure

maximum efficiency.

4. Slide air filter down into filter slot.
