l Also, remove energy label and buy guide. Use damp cloth to take off any glue residue. Do not use a sharp instrument or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Energy SavingTips

l Improve home insulation (seal doors, windows, and close fireplace flue).

l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of house; add window awnings.

lKeep air filter clean. Don???t block air flow with drapes or furniture.

l Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add to normal cooling load).

l Try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights, radios, televisions, and other appliances off when not needed.

l Keep heat registers and cool air returns closed or blocked off so cooled air won???t escape.

lUse a vent fan in areas where cooking, laundry, or bathing is done to pull out extra heat and moisture near its source.

4 l Clean front frame with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Use a soft cloth. Rinse and dry. Replace front frame.

5. Wipe control panel clean with a soft dry cloth.

Annual Maintenance for Your Air Conditioner

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help insure steady, top performance throughout the year.

Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages.

l Check fan and oil the fan motor.

l The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.

Expense of annual inspection is customer???s

responsibility.

- or ~

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you decide to go ahead, follow these steps:

Oiling of the Fan Motor

REMOVE UNIT FROM CABINET. Wrap the motor, electrical control box and electrical terminals box in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid gets inside any of these parts. It could damage the insulation and cause serious trouble.

2l Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils and condensate pans. Clean at least once a year or more often, if the condenser coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor from the air conditioner. While the cabinet is open, this is a good time to oil the fan motor.

30Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

40Replace unit in cabinet.

NOTE: It???s a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the unit again. This allows time for all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.

1l Oil the fan motor per instructions on the motor. To add oil, pull out the oil hole plug at each end of the motor. (See Figure 11).

An easy to use one-ounce capsule of especially recommended oil (Part No. 10943) can be orderd

from your dealer, or use SAE #20 non-detergent oil.

2l Replace the plug to keep dirt from motor bearings.

3. Reinstall the unit in cabinet after performing maintenance. (See Installation Instructions.)
