Cleaning Your Air Filter

A clogged air conditioner can reduce the cooling efficiency of your unit,
and can also be bad for your health. Make sure to clean the filter once
every two weeks.

air inlet grill.
2 Grip the tab on the end of the filter, lift it up, then pull it towards
yourself.

filter. Clean this air freshening filter with a hand-held vacuum.

mild detergent.
6 Rinse the filter with fresh water, then shake off excess water.
7 Dry it in a cool, dry place, and refrain from exposing it to direct
sunlight.

slide it back into the indoor unit.
