 Air Conditioner 

For normal cooling

1. 

Set the Selector Switch at 

HIGH

COOL.

2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually 5-7 is a
good starting position). If room
temperature is not satisfactory after
a reasonable time, set the Thermostat
Control at a higher number for a
cooler room or at a lower number
for a warmer room.

3. Set the Energy Saver Switch* at
NORMAL position for continuous
fan operation or at SAVE position
to automatically cycle the fan on
and off with the compressor.

4. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSED except for brief periods
when you want to exhaust room air
to the outside.

For maximum cooling

1. 

Set the Selector Switch at HIGH

COOL.

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to 10.

3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSED.

4. Set the Energy Saver Switch* at
the NORMAL position.

For quieter operation

1. Set the Selector Switch at LOW

COOL position.

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to
the desired number.

When the Thermostat Control is
set on 9 or 10 and the Fan is set on
low speed, moisture may freeze on
the coils and prevent the unit from
cooling. If this happens, set the Fan
at high speed and set the Thermostat
Control to a lower number.

3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSED.

4. Set the Energy Saver Switch* at
the NORMAL position.

Note: When the Energy Saver
Switch* is at the SAVE position,

changes in the sound level may be
more noticeable than when it’s at
the NORMAL position.

For nighttime operation

During the cooler evening hours,
we recommend that you set the
Selector Switch at LOW COOL
for very quiet operation and the
Thermostat Control at mid-range
(5 or 6). Set the Ventilation Control
at CLOSED and the Energy Saver
Switch* at NORMAL or SAVE
position.

For extreme temperatures

For greatest economy and best
performance, we suggest you set
the Selector Switch at HIGH
COOL in extremely hot weather.

*On models so equipped

OFF

ON

m

Some models have a 
Switch. For 

 side-to-side air

direction, slide the 

Switch to ON until the desired air
direction is 

 then move it

to OFF.

For continuous side-to-side air
circulation, set the 
Switch to ON and leave it there.

Other models have two separate
banks of side-to-side air direction
louvers with separate tabs to let you
direct discharged air to the right, to
the left, or straight ahead.
