ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD
KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating
procedure, here are more features in your control
that you should know.
• The Remote Control will operate all the control
panel features, follow the same instructions.
• The "Cool "circuit has an automatic 3 minute
time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on
quickly. This prevents overheating of the
compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
The fan will continue to run during this time.
• The control will maintain any set temperature
between 60F and 90F degrees (cooling), 55F and
80F (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
Selection 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 excessively 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
compressor.
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 representative or agency.
