Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on. Allow time
for it to cool down.
●
Cold air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
●
Vent control maybe
set at open position, allowing hot outside air to enter the room.
●
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Selector Switch to FAN ONLY and
the Thermostat Control to a lower number.

SOUNDS
off. This is normal.
