MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean
filter helps to remove dust, lint and other particles from
the air. A clean filter is also essential to maximize the
cooling and operating efficiency of the air conditioner.
1.
Depending on your air conditioner model, choose
the right procedure to remove the filter :
• Fig. A : Slide the filter out from the front right-
hand side of the unit.
• Fig. B : Close the Vent tab (if applicable), open
the front panel, grasp the filter by the center and
pull it up and out.
2.
Gently clean with a vacuum cleaner or wash the
filter in warm soapy water.
3.
Rinse well and let dry before putting it back.
4.
Put the filter back in and press on the
CHECK FILTER
button to reset.
• A dirty air filter reduces air volume. We recommend to clean the air filter every two weeks,
or more frequently if there are animals around.
• Never run the air conditioner without the air filter.
• Do not clean the air filter in the dishwasher, nor use chemical products or abrasive detergents.
CLEANING THE HOUSING
1.
Turn the unit off and unplug the unit.
2.
Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Never immerse the unit.
3.
Air dry completely and reconnect the unit.
• Never use chemical products or abrasive detergents ; it could damage paint and finish.
STORAGE
1.
Set the air conditioner to FAN only at HIGH speed and let it run for about 3 hours to
completely dry out the inside of the unit.
2.
Turn off and unplug the unit.
3.
Clean the filter and the housing.
4.
Store the unit upright in a clean and dry area.
• It is recommended to store the unit in its original packing box.
• If the unit is installed permanently, during winter protect it with a heavy-duty cover ; it will
reduce air drafts, as well as paint and finish damages.
• Always turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning to avoid electrical
shock.

When the air conditioner is running, it may produce these normal noises or vibrations:
• Pinging or clicking noise caused by water dropping on the condenser.
• The relay clicking when the compressor cycles on and off.
• Fan airflow ; the fan may run even when the compressor is off.
• Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
• Vibrations or noises due to poor wall or window construction.
