Cleaning Equipment

Cleaning and polishing the heat pump regularly can protect its appearance and longevity. More frequent servicing may be required for heat pumps located in sandy or coastal areas where sand and salt spray can damage equipment.

WARNING

Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death.

 

  • Possible electric shock hazard - Deactivate power to all electrical devices on the pad when washing heat pump. Do not restore electrical power until equipment is completely dry.

NOTICE

Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment.

 

  • Do not use a pressure cleaner to wash the heat pump. Damage to heat pump components may result. If using a hose-end spray nozzle adjust the spray pattern to low strength only.
  • Do not spray water directly into the interior of the heat pump; damage to components may result.
  • Do not use chemicals on the display panel.

Cleaning

  1. Wash cabinet using a low-pressure water hose. A high-pressure water stream will cause damage to the aluminum fins of the heat pump. This damage is not covered under the product warranty.
  2. While the heat pump is still wet, use an approved cleaning agent to clean the exterior of the heat pump. Do not use chemicals on the display panel.
  3. Use a detergent-dampened cloth to wipe the heat pump's exterior cabinet.
  4. Flush all exterior with fresh water using a low-pressure water hose.
  5. Dry the cabinet using a soft cloth being careful not to damage fins.
