Operating Instructions

Using Air Conditioner

To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:

Set the temperature selector to the highest number (coldest or coolest setting).
Set the mode control to the highest COOL setting.
Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
Once the room has cooled, adjust the temperature selector to the setting you

find most comfortable.

Review the “Operating Instructions” section for other settings.

Operating Instructions

The controls featured in this manual are representative of many available

models. Your model may offer slightly different features.

This is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being

operated in the “COOL MODE”.
To set the desired room temperature, rotate the selector switch to the desired

setting. After the set temperature is achieved, the thermostat will automatically

start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature.
Rotate the temperature selector clockwise for higher cool setting. Higher cool

settings will provide lower room temperature.

Rotate the temperature selector counter-clockwise for lower cool settings. 

Lower cool settings will provide higher room temperature.

Temperature Selector

Fan Mode

Rotate the MODE knob to the left to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation.

Note: When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run. On models with a vent 

control, this mode can be used to remove stale air from the room, or to draw fresh air 

into the room. Check the section ‘Additional Things You Should Know’.

WARNING

Please always wait 3 minutes when turning unit off then on again, and when changing from cool to fan and back to

cool. This prevents compressor from overheating & possible circuit breaker tripping.

Failure to follow these instructions may be harmful to your unit.
