pads to set the desired temperature between
60°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
A thermostat is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off
to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the
thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air
will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher
number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE:
If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while
set to
COOL
, it will take approximately 3 minutes for the
compressor to start and cooling to begin.
