The louvers in the top of the
front panel allow you to
control the direction of the
cooled air. Use the tabs to
direct the air up, down, right,
left, or straight ahead.
Along with using POWER SAVER (some models), there are many things you can do to help save energy.
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:
Changing air direction
Using the Filter Monitor (some models)
Saving energy
Normal operating sounds
Tabs
•
Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a
“pinging” or “clicking” sound. The water droplets
help cool the condenser.
•
Air movement from the fan.
•
Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
•
Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
•
A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by
the modern high-efficiency compressor cycling on
and off.
The Filter Monitor (some
models) tells you when the
filter needs to be cleaned.
When the amount of dirt on the
filter reaches a level that would
affect cooling performance, a
red flag appears under the
words “FILTER MONITOR” on
the control panel.
IMPORTANT: The FAN CONTROL must be set to
HIGH COOL or HIGH HEAT for the Filter Monitor to
work. If the FAN CONTROL is set to a lower fan
speed, turn the setting to HIGH to check the filter.
Then return the FAN CONTROL to your desired
setting.
•
Improve your home's insulation. Seal doors and
windows. Close fireplace flue.
•
Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your
house. Add awnings.
•
Make sure drapes or furniture do not block airflow
from your air conditioner.
•
Turn lights and appliances off when they are not
needed.
•
Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic
add to the air conditioner's cooling load.
•
Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
•
Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.
•
Use exhaust vent fans while cooking, doing laundry,
or bathing.
