ing or aging can trip (Reset button will pop
out) the power supply cord.
After correcting
the problem, press and release RESET (listen
for click; Reset button will latch and remain in)

Air conditioner seems to run too much
Is there a door or window open? Keep doors
and windows closed.
The current air conditioner replaced an older
model.
The use of more efficient components
may cause the air conditioner to run longer than
an older model, but the total energy consumption
will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit
the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed
to from older units, but this is not an indication
of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to
the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating
(in BTU/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied
room, or heat-producing appliances are in
use in the room.
Use exhaust vent fans while
cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-pro-
ducing appliances during the hottest part of the
day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be
required, depending on the size of the room
being cooled.
Air conditioner runs for a short time only, but
room is not cool
Set temperature is close to room temperature.
Lower set temperature. See “Using the Control
Panel.”
