 tips

 Keep the air filter clean. (See

instructions on page 5.)

● 

Don’t let the room get too

hot. Whenever possible, turn the

unit on before the room heats up.

When heat is “stored up” in walls,
furniture, rugs and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.

 Keep windows and doors

closed. Cool, dry air escapes
when they’re open.

. Keep furnace floor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold air

can 

 escape through them.

 Don’t let drapes or furniture block

the front of the unit and restrict air
flow when it is operating.

 It’s best to operate your air

conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.

● 

Keep the outdoor condenser coil

clean. (See page 5.)

● 

Turn the air conditioner off

before vacations or extended
absences from home.

WATER IN BASE PAN
(ON OUTDOOR SIDE)

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

● 

Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped

loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.

. If plugged in, fuse could have blown or circuit

breaker may have tripped.

● 

Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the front

of the air conditioner will restrict air flow.

● 

Temperature Control may not be set high

enough. Turn knob to a higher number. Highest
setting should provide maximum cooling.

. 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 may be escaping through open

furnace floor registers and cold air returns.

● 

Thermostat click, a metallic sound, maybe

heard when compressor cycles on and off. This

is normal.

. Fan runs continuously when Selector Switch

is in COOL or FAN position. This is normal.

● 

Excess water may overflow in excessively hot

and humid weather. This is normal.

● 

Air conditioner must be installed level or

tilted slightly to the outside for proper water

● 

This is normal for a short period in areas with

little humidity; normal for a longer period in
very humid areas. Moisture removed from
indoor air drains to rear of cabinet, where it is
picked up by a fan and thrown against the

outdoor condenser coil.
