ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

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 the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60°F and 90°F (in cool mode), 
55°F and 80°F (in heat mode).

Now that you understand the basic operation functions, here are more control features with which you should become 
familiar.

FAULT CODES :

If the display reads “HS” , “ES” or “AS”, a sensor has failed. Contact 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for repair.

There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the 
possibility of having to roll through to select another mode.

Evaporator coil sensor

Air temperature sensor

Heat sensor

When the unit is turned off in cool or energy saver mode, it will run in energy saver mode when it is turned on again, but 
the setting of temperature and fan speed will remain.

If the unit is turned off in heat mode (if applicable) or fan only mode, it will return to the same setting when it is turned 
on again.

AUTO RE-START :

After a power outage, the unit will remember the last temperature and mode settings, and will return to these same settings 
once power is restored. 

The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the
other and back, press and hold both the “TEMP/TIMER” Up(     ) and Down (     ) buttons for 3 seconds.

Models with a key hole overflow drain hole can use drain kit 5304481680 to connect a 1/2 inch drain hose for safe 
disposal of excess system water. This part can be ordered at www.SearsPartsDirect.com.
