have blown or circuit breaker may have tripped.

● 

 

   

 blocking front of air 

conditioner 

 restrict airflow.

● 

Thermostat Control may not be set high enough. Turn control to a higher number.

. Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least every 30 days. See instructions on page 5.

. Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on. Allow time for
it to cool down.

● 

Cold air maybe escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.

● 

Ventilation control maybe set at open position, allowing hot outside air to enter

the room.

● 

Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Fan at high speed and the Thermostat

Control to a lower number.

● 

Thermostat click, a metallic sound, maybe heard when compressor cycles on and off.

● 

Fan runs continuously when Selector Switch is in Cool or Fan position. This is normal.

● 

Air conditioner must be installed with the specified tilt to the outside for proper water

disposal.

   short 

period in areas with little humidity; normal for a 

period in very humid areas. Moisture removed from indoor air drains to rear of cabinet
where it is picked up by a fan ring and thrown against the outdoor condenser coil.
