ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• The remote control will operate all the control panel features.
Instructions will be the same.
•
The “COOL” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time de-
layed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This
prevents overheating of the compressor and possible cir-
cuit breaker tripping.
NOTE: The fan will continue to run during this time.
• The control will maintain any set temperature between 60°F
and 90°F (cooling), 55°F and 80°F (heating).
• The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees
(Fahrenheit) or degrees (Celsius). To convert from one to the
other, press and hold the UP and DOWN Temperature Selec-
tion Pads at the same time for 3 seconds.
COMPRESSOR
The compressor is hermetically sealed, permanently lubricated
and requires no additional oiling.
FRONT PANEL AND GRILLE
The front panel and grille can be cleaned with a mild soap or
detergent. Do not use hydrocarbon-based cleaners (e.g. acetone,
benzene, naphtha, gasoline, etc.) to clean the front panel or grille.
Use care when cleaning the control area. Do not use an exces-
sively wet cleaning cloth.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
To achieve continuing top performance and high efficiency, a regular
cleaning/inspection schedule must be established. Maintaining
this schedule can be accomplished by either a local maintenance
staff or an authorized servicer and must follow the instructions
described in this manual.
• If the unit is operated in a dusty climate, dust may collect in
the basepan and clog the condenser coil. It is advisable to
remove the unit from the sleeve and thoroughly clean the
basepan and condenser coil on a periodic basis.
• If the unit is installed ocean side or in a corrosive atmosphere,
its life may be greatly reduced by the corrosive environment.
Under these conditions, the unit should be removed from the
sleeve and completely cleaned once a year. At that time any
scratches or blisters on the painted surfaces should be
sanded and repainted.
OUTDOOR COIL CLEANING
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be
checked regularly. For cleaning outside coil, remove the 6 screws
that mount the condenser coil top cover to condenser shroud.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND
CONDITIONS
POPPING OR GURGLING SOUNDS
This sound is the refrigerant traveling through the lines. This is a
normal sound which may be heard for a few seconds after the unit
shuts off.
WATER TRICKLING SOUNDS
This sound is produced by the water as it is picked up and run
over the coils. This procedure improves the efficiency of the unit
and helps with water removal.
WATER DRIPPING
Water will collect in the basepan during high humidity days.
STARTING DELAY
You may notice a short delay in the startup if you try to restart the
unit too soon after turning it off or if you adjust the thermostat right
after the compressor has shut off. This delay protects the com-
pressor.
OBTAINING SERVICE
In the unlikely event this unit requires repair or servicing beyond
what is covered in this manual, contact an authorized service
organization.
To obtain an authorized servicer, contact your sales representa-
tive or agency.
