 How to Attach Drain Pan (Some Models)
The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moisture removed from the
air) is drained to the outside.
In very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive condensate water removed
from the air may cause some water to collect. To remove this excess water you can install the drain pan as
detailed below. CABINET
1. Take the drain pan which is located in the air discharge.
2. Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan (for some models).
3. Install the drain pan to the right corner of the cabinet with 4 (or 2) DRAIN
screws. PAN

Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be checked
regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot they may be professionally
steam cleaned, a service available through a dealer.

 Care and
Maintenance Care and Maintenance

ENGLISH
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the
filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity 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 grille.(a)

2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling the air filter up or down slightly.

3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 C (104 F).(b)

4. Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely. Replace the filter.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and
reduce performance.

Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the chart below first and
you may not need to call for service.
Normal Operation
• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy
days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from
the outdoor side of the unit.
• The fan may run even when the compressor does not.

Abnormal Operation
