For normal cooling

1. 

Set the Selector Switch at HI

COOL.

2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually 4-6 is
a good starting position). If room
temperature is not satisfactory
after a reasonable time, 

 the

Thermostat Control at a higher
number for a cooler room or at a
lower number for a warmer room.

3. Be sure the Ventilation Control is
in the CLOSED position.

For maximum cooling

1. 

Set the Selector Switch at HI

COOL.

2. Turn the Thermostat Control
to 10.

3. Be sure the Ventilation Control
is in the CLOSED position.

For quieter operation

1. 

Set the Selector Switch at the LO

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. Be sure the Ventilation Control
is in the CLOSED position.

For 

 operation

During the cooler evening hours,
we recommend that you set the
Selector Switch at LO COOL
for quieter operation and the
Thermostat Control at mid-range
(5 or 6).

For extreme temperatures

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

For ventilation

Whether the controls are set for
cooling or fan only operation,
setting the Ventilation Control at
OPEN lets room air be exhausted
to the outside. This is helpful in
removing stale air, smoke or odors
from the room. However, cooling
effectiveness is reduced whenever
the vent door is open, so we
suggest that you don’t keep the
Ventilation Control at OPEN for
long—especially in hot, humid
weather.

To adjust air direction

Side to Side

The side-to-side air direction
louvers are controlled by tabs that
let you position the louvers to
discharge air to the left, to the
right, or straight ahead.

Up and down 

(on some models)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

. . 

UP-AND-DOWN 

AIR 

 ~---

The up-and-down air direction
louvers are controlled by fingertip
pressure on the louvers. They
regulate air discharge upward,
downward or straight out.
