Care and Maintenance
1) Do Not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any
other chemicals to clean this unit ,as these
substances may cause damage to the finish and
deformation of plastic parts.
2) Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water
directly over any of the surface areas, as this will
cause deterioration of electrical components and
wiring insulation.
Removal and Cleaning of the Air Filters
If the air filters become clogged with dust/dirt, air
flow is restricted and reduces cooling efficiency.
The air filters should be cleaned every two (2)
weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary
depending upon air quality. NOTE: The air filter
(filter 1) is located at the (upper) rear side of the
unit. In order to access the air intake filter (filter 2),
the air intake hose and collar will have to be
removed.

filter upward in the direction of the arrow.
1b) To remove the air intake filter (Fig. 35):
Simply tilt the filter handle upwards and pull
out the filter basket. (Fig. 36).
2) Dust/Dirt clogged in the filter can be
removed by vacuum cleaning the soiled
areas.
3) The filter can also be washed in lukewarm
soapy water while rubbing it lightly with a
brush. A mild detergent (dishwashing soap)
is recommended.
4) Rinse the filter well using clean water. Allow
time to dry before reinstalling into the unit.
5) Replace the air filters.
