Soleus SGTTW10ESE Operating Guide

  

Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new 
and to minimize dust build up. 

Air Filter Cleaning 
The air filter should be checked at least once 
every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped 
particles and dust can build up in the filter and 
may decrease airflow as well as cause the    
cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air 
filter: 
 
1.  Remove the filter by pulling down on the in-

dents of the filter door on the front of the unit. 
(See FIG. 13) 

2. 

Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and 
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-
tly shake the filter to remove excess water. 

 

3. 

Let the filter dry completely before placing it 
into the air conditioner.

 

4. 

If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may 
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and 
other particles.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Wear and Tear 
To minimize wear and tear on the air  condi-
tioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before 
changing modes. This will help prevent the   
compressor from overheating and the circuit 
breaker from tripping. 
 
Winter Storage

 

To store the air conditioner when it is not in use 
for an extended period of time, remove it care-
fully from the window according to the installation 
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in 
the original box. 

Cabinet Cleaning 
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:  

• 

Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or 
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of 
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-
free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in 
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. 
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe 
dry. 

• 

Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on 
the cabinet front. 

• 

Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth 
before wiping around the controls. Excess 
water in or around the controls may cause 
damage to the air conditioner. 

 
 
Energy Saving Ideas

 

• 

Do not block the air flow inside with blinds, 
curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, 
enclosures, or other buildings. 

• 

The capacity of the room air conditioner must 
fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory 
operation. 

• 

Install the room air conditioner on the shady 
side of your home. A window that faces North 
is best because it receives the least amount 
of sun exposure. 

• 

Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall 
registers so cool air does not escape. 

• 

Keep blinds and drapes closed for cooling 
and open for heating. 

• 

Clean the air filter as recommended in the 
“care and cleaning” section. 

• 

Proper insulation and weather stripping in 
your home will help limit cool air loss. 

• 

External house shading with trees, plants, or 
awnings helps reduce the air conditioner’s 
work load. 

• 

Operate heat producing appliances during the 
coolest part of the day. Such as a dish-
washer, oven, or computer.
