Fan Speed

Set FAN SPEED to the desired setting. When the air conditioner
is operating at Low Cool, High Cool, or Turbo Cool, the fan
circulates air continuously.

• Turbo Cool--for maximum cooling

• High Cool--for normal cooling

• Low Cool--for sleeping comfort

• Fan Only--to move air continuously without cooling
NOTE: Fan runs on Turbo speed only.

• Power Saver (on some models)--fan runs only when cooling
is needed.

Because the fan does not circulate the room air continuously,
less energy is used, but the room air is not circulated as
often. Use Power Saver when you are asleep or away from

home.
NOTE: Fan runs on Low speed only.

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:

• 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 air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in
place.

1. Turn off air conditioner.

2. Remove air filter by sliding filter out from either side of unit.

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very
important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy-
duty cover over air conditioner cabinet. For information on
ordering a heavy-duty cover, see "Accessories."

Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet. See "Electrical Requirements,"

Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity
is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker of the correct capacity. See "Electrical
Requirements."

The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has

popped out). Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset
button will latch and remain in) to resume operation.

A household fuse has blown, or a circuit breaker has
tripped. Replace the fuse, or reset the circuit breaker. Ifthe

problem continues, call an electrician. See "Electrical
Requirements."

Depending on model, the Power button has not been
pressed or the Fan Speed control is turned to Off. Press

POWER button or turn the Fan Speed control to an active
setting.

• The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

• Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.
Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

• An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension
cord with this or any other appliance.

• You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after
turning the unit off. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning the
unit off before trying to restart the air conditioner.

RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and remain in)
to resume operation.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

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-
producing 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.

21

Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not

cool

The Mode is set to Power Saver (on some models). Use

Power Saver only when you are asleep or away from home,
since the fan does not circulate the room air continuously.
Use Low, High or Turbo for your best comfort.

The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.
Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple

rooms,

• The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.

• The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are

dirty or obstructed by debris. See "Annual Maintenance."
There is excessive heat or moisture (open container

cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust

heat or moisture from the room, Try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

• The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,

furniture, etc.

• The outside temperature is below 65°F (18°0). Do not try to
operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the
outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).

• The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is
extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool
off a very hot room.

• Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all
windows and doors.

• The Exhaust control is set to OPEN (on some models).
Push the Exhaust control CLOSED for maximum cooling.

• Depending on model, the Tempf'l'ime or Temperature
control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the TEMP/
TIME control to a cooler setting by pressing the minus button
to reduce the temperature, or adjust the Temperature control
to a cooler setting by turning the knob clockwise. Set the Fan
Speed control to Turbo or Turbo Cool.

Temperature on display does not match room
temperature

• When the compressor and fan motor turn off during

Power Saver mode, or after you turn off the unit, a lower
temperature reading than the actual room temperature

may be displayed for a short period of time. This lower
temperature reading is caused by the temperature sensor
being located close to the cold evaporator coil. The actual
room temperature will be displayed within a few minutes.

Water drips from cabinet into your house

The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air

conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the
outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward

slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the
Installation Instructions.

NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base
and condensate pan.

Replacement air filters Heavy-duty cover

A good, clean air filter is important for best cooling with least
energy consumption. Your air filter should be cleaned regularly.

See "Cleaning the Air Filter" for cleaning instructions. We suggest
you replace your air filter once a year.

For a new electrostatic air filter, order Part Number 1187197.
Airborne particles are attracted to an electrostatic air filter and

remain attached to it until they are rinsed away. For a new
antimicrobial air filter, order Part Number 1187389. In addition to

providing all the benefits of an electrostatic air filter, an
antimicrobial air filter also inhibits the growth of odor-causing

bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew on the filter. Both of these air
filters are sized to fit your air conditioner.

If you decide to leave your air conditioner installed during the
winter, a heavy-duty cover will help protect your air conditioner

and reduce drafts. The outdoor cover protects against cold drafts
through the unit's air passages and protects the cabinet from
snow, rain, sleet, rust, and dust.

For a heavy-duty outdoor cover sized to fit your air conditioner,
order Part Number 484069.

For a heavy-duty indoor cover sized to fit your air conditioner,
order Part Number 4392941.
