Performing annual maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual mainte-

nance to help ensure steady, top performance

throughout the year.

Call the service company recommended

by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and conden-

sate water passages.

l Check fan.

The compressor and fan motor are sealed

and need no oiling. Expense of annual

inspection is the customer’s responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances,

you can do the cleaning and maintenance

yourself. If you choose to do so, follow the

steps on page 9.

NOTE:

Do not lift, push, or pull any white

beaded foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug power cord from outlet

before servicing.

Be sure no liquid gets into the motor,

electrical control box, or compressor

terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, electrical shock,

or serious injury.

Unplug power cord.

2. Remove air conditioner from cabinet.

Watch out for the sharp metal fins on the

front and rear coils.

3. Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning

the front panel” on page 7.)

4. Wrap the motor, electrical control box,

and compressor terminal box in plastic

film to make sure no water or other liquid

gets inside. Water or other liquids could

damage insulation and cause serious

mechanical problems.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use 2 or more people to move and

install air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or

other Injury.

5. 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 coming from the air

conditioner. Do not use the collected

water for drinking purposes. It is not

sanitary.

6. Remove plastic film from motor and

electrical parts.

7. Replace air conditioner in cabinet.

8. Replace front panel.

9. Plug in power cord.

NOTE:

It is a good idea to wait 24 hours

before starting the air conditioner again. This

allows time for all areas to dry thoroughly.

Saving energy

You can help save energy by following the

tips below.

l Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all

doors and windows. Close the fireplace flue.

l Close all blinds and drapes on sunny sides

of the house. Add window awnings.

l Keep the air filter clean.

l Do not block the airflow with drapes or

furniture.

l Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in

the attic add to the air conditioner’s cooling

load.

l Try not to use heat-producing appliances

during the hottest part of the day.

. Turn off lights and appliances when they

are not needed.

l Keep heat registers and cool-air returns

closed.

l Use exhaust venting fans when cooking,

doing laundry, or bathing.

Normal operating sounds

When your air conditioner

operates nor-

l Droplets of water hitting the condenser,

causing a “pinging” or “clicking” sound.

Water droplets help to cool the condenser.

l Air movement from the fan.

Sounds also may be caused by house con-

struction - such as vibration of the unit due

to wall construction or unsteady window

mounting area.
