Do not use rubbing alcohol or flammable
toxic solvents, such as acetone, gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, etc. These can damage

harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Energy saving tips

l

Improve home insulation (seal doors, windows,
and close fireplace flue).

l

Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house. Add window awnings.

l

Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow with
drapes or furniture.

l

Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add to
normal cooling load).

l

Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights,

radios, televisions, and other appliances

off when not needed.

l

Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.

l

Use a vent fan in areas in cooking, laundry
or bathing areas to pull out extra heat and
moisture near its source.

Using your air conditioner

THERMOSTAT

Starting your air conditioner

CAUTION: If you turn your air
conditioner off, wait at least two (2)
minutes before turning it back on
or you may blow a fuse.

NOTE: Be sure air conditioner SYSTEM
CONTROL is set to UNIT OFF before
plugging in the unit.

1. Set the AIR CONTROL to OFF for

maximum cooling.

2. Set the SYSTEM CONTROL to the

desired setting.
LO COOL . . for sleeping comfort

MED COOL for normal cooling
HI COOL . . for maximum cooling
FAN ONLY . . for air circulation only

3. Turn THERMOSTAT CONTROL to the mid
(Number 6) setting. You can adjust the air con­ditioner’s cooling performance by resetting the
thermostat control to a higher number for max­imum cooling. Lower the thermostat for less
cooling. You will need to experiment to find the
setting which suits you best.

When lowering the thermostat control
setting, the compressor (motor) may shut off.
When the compressor is turned off with either
the system control or the thermostat control,
wait 2-3 minutes before restarting the air con­ditioner or turning the compressor back on.
