 Your Air Conditioner 

For normal cooling

1. 

Set 

the Selector Switch at 

COOL.

2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually 5-7 is
a good starting position). If room
temperature is not satisfactory 
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 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.

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 the Thermostat
Control to a lower number.

3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSED.

For 

 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.

For extreme temperatures

For greatest economy and best
performance, we 

 you set

the Selector Switch at HIGH
COOL in extremely hot weather.

To adjust air direction

 

Two banks of side-to-side air
direction louvers are controlled by
tabs that let you position each bank
separately to discharge air to the
right, to the left, or straight ahead.

Two banks of up-and-down air

direction louvers are controlled by
tabs that let you position each bank

separately to discharge air up,

down or straight out.
