Operating Your Air Conditioner 

 

OFF turns air conditioner off.

HI FAN permits high fan speed
operation without cooling.

LO FAN permits low fan speed
operation without cooling.

HI COOL permits cooling with
high fan speed operation.

LO COOL permits cooling with
low fan speed operation.

 

 

1. Set Selector Switch at HI COOL.

2. Set Temperature Control at
desired number (usually the midpoint

is a good starting position). If room

temperature is not satisfactory 

reasonable time, set the thermostat
control at a higher number for a
cooler room or at a lower number
for a warmer room.

3. Be sure VENT door is closed.
VENT button should be out and to
the left.

 

 cooling”

1. Set Selector Switch at HI COOL.

2. Set Temperature Control at 10.

3. Be sure VENT door is closed.

VENT button should be out and to
the left.

 

   

When you turn the Temperature
Control to the desired setting, the
thermostat will automatically control
the temperature of the indoor air.
The higher the number selected, the
cooler the indoor air will be.

The Save Energy 

 is a visual

reminder that you can conserve
energy by selecting a higher room
temperature but still keep the room
cool and less humid than outside.

 

 

1. Set Selector Switch at LO COOL.

2. Set Temperature Control at
desired number.

When the Temperature 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 Temperature
Control to a 

 number.

 

 

 

 

 

Set the Selector Switch at LO FAN
or HI FAN.

The vent door in your air conditioner

is closed when the VENT pushbutton
is out and to the left. When the vent
is closed, only the air inside the room

can be circulated and conditioned.
Pushing the VENT button in and
sliding it to the right opens the vent
door, allowing a small amount of

indoor air to be exhausted from
the room.

 

 

 

The moisture that your air conditioner
removes from the air drains to the rear
of the cabinet where it is picked up
by   fan and dispersed against the
condenser. Occasionally, more likely
during start-up, a “pinging” noise

may be heard. This is normal for a

 time in less humid areas and

longer in very humid areas. This
method of moisture removal improves

the operational efficiency of your
air conditioner.

Note: Before moving your air
conditioner to another location,

turn it off and wait 5 or 10 minutes.
This will allow the condensate to
drain from the coil into the base
pan. Then, keeping a firm grip on

the air conditioner, carefully raise the
window and tilt the air conditioner
to the outside to drain the water
from the base pan.
