Air FilterCleaning

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary.Trapped particles in the fi_ter wifl build up and block the airflow. This reduces the coolingcapacity and also causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet gri_te.(a)tn another case, you can open the inlet grilte downward by pulling out the top of the inletgdHe.(b)

2. Remove the air fi_ter from the fi'ont grille assembty by pL_llingthe air filter up or downslightly.

3. Wash the filter using _ukewarm water below 40°C (104 °F).(c)4 Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely. Replace the filter,
