Using Air Conditioner
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:
1. Plug in the air conditioner. (To prevent electrical hazards, do not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.)
2. Set the exhaust vent to the CLOSED position.
3. Set the thermostat to the highest number (coldest or cooler setting).
4. Set the selector control to the highest FAN-or COOL setting (see below).
5. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
6. Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to the setting you find most
comfortable.
Review the “Air Conditioner Features” section for other settings.
NOTE:-
If the air conditioner is turned off,
wait 3 minutes before restarting. This
allows pressure inside the compressor to
equalize. Failure to follow these
instructions
may
cause
inefficient
operation.
The controls featured in this manual are representational of the many models
available.-Your model may offer slightly different features.
Selector Control
The selector control turns the unit on or off and allows a choice of either cooling
room air, circulating room air at the existing temperature, or heating room air (some
models).
COOL/FAN
Operate COOL/FAN models according to the following suggestions:
• ON/OFF or OFF = Turns air conditioner on and off.
• HIGH-COOL = Maximum cooling speed. Begin operation of the air conditioner
in this mode.
• MEDIUM-COOL-(some models) = Fan runs slower for moderate cooling speeds.
• LOW-COOL = Fan runs slow for quiet operation when maximum cooling is not
needed.
• HIGH-FAN = Maximum air circulation without cooling.
• MEDIUM-FAN-(some models) = Moderate air circulation without cooling.
• LOW-FAN-= Slow air circulation without cooling.
HEAT
-(some models)
The HEAT-selection provides quiet, efficient circulation of warm air. Turn the selector
to the HEAT-setting and set the thermostat at number 1, or lowest setting. When
the HEAT-setting is selected, the thermostat maintains the temperature by
automatically turning the heater on and off in response to room temperature. The
fan runs continuously to circulate air in the room.
Once the room is warm, adjust the thermostat to a higher number. Higher numbers
provide less heat, or cooler temperatures.
A slight heat odor may come from the unit when first switching to HEAT after the
cooling season is over. This odor, caused by fine dust particles on the heater, will
disappear quickly.
