Black & Decker AC is designed to last for a very long time but necessary maintenance is needed for it to stay functional for years. Before opening the front cover, make sure that the unit is turned off and unplugged from the power source. Opening the front cover is easy, simply grasp both sides of the panel and grab it towards you.
It is advised to check the filter every two weeks to see if the unit is in need of cleaning or not. This can be identified by the visible appearance of the filter found inside the unit. The filter in a window-type AC can be easily detached by carefully removing it from the brackets it is held in place inside the unit.
There are two ways of keeping the air filters clean. One way is to use a vacuum cleaner to remove minimal dust particles on the membrane of the filter. If you notice that the filter is heavily clogged, another way to clean this is by washing it. A mild detergent paired with warm water will help heavy dirt clinging into the filters. The slightly warm water will help soften then hardened dirt and will easily be removed. Place it after a dry cool area to drain the water.
After the filter is cleaned and dried, it can now be returned back to the unit. Carefully re-attach the filter back by inserting it in the brackets on the inside corners. This will help you properly align the filters. Then, put the front panel after by positioning it at the right frame to avoid it from falling off. Make sure that the filters are reinserted before operating the unit.
The Black & Decker Corporation humbly started in Baltimore as a small machine shop back in 1910. Founders S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker were co-workers back in the day at the Rowland Telegraph Co. Their very first product was a portable electric drill in 1917, patenting a hand-held drill with a pistol grip. Eventually, they acquired their very own company trademark Black & Decker in the USA in 1949.
Today, the Black & Decker brand is distributed by various outlets of Spectrum Brands from Madison, Wisconsin. They specialize more on hardware and home improvement. Black & Decker has been one of the popular brands in America that manufactures quality hardware, home appliances, power tools, and technology based fastening systems. Just recently, in the year 2010, Black & Decker merged with Stanley Works becoming Stanley Black & Deckers.
