tioner without the return air filters in place as this may plug the evaporator core
with dirt and substantially affect the performance of the air conditioner.

To Clean:

• Remove the vent covers and filters.
• Wash the filters and covers in warm soapy water. Do not use sol-

vents.

• Rinse the filters and cover thoroughly with fresh water and allow

them to dry.

• Reinstall the filters and covers.

The roof air conditioner will operate only when the following needs

have been met:

• 120 Volts AC from either shore power or the generator is sup-

plied.

• The battery cut-off switch is in the ON position and house batter-

ies are charged.

Fan Operation:

This mode circulates the interior air by using the roof air conditioner blower.

The fan speed will control the roof air conditioner blower speed in the following
modes: Fan, Cool or Heat Pump.

• Press the mode button repeatedly until FAN is displayed.
• Press the FAN button to select the desired fan speed.

Air Conditioner Operation:

The living room comfort control will operate the front roof air condi-

tioner functions.

• Press the MODE button repeatedly until Cool is displayed.
• Set desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button.
• Set desired cooling temperature by pressing the UP or DOWN

buttons.

The Bedroom comfort control will operate the rear roof air condition-

er functions and (if equipped) the center roof air conditioner.

• Press the MODE button repeatedly until Cool is displayed.
• Pressing the Zone button to alternate between Zone One and Zone

Two. Zone One will control the bedroom roof air conditioer and
Zone Two will control the center roof air conditioner.

• Set desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button.
• Set desired cooling temperature by pressing the UP or DOWN but-

tons.

NOTE: The compressor will engage approximately two minutes after blower

motor activation. This prevents accidental compressor activation against high

pressure.
