For normal cooling
1. Set
the
Selector Switch at HI
COOL.
2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually 5-7 is
a good starting position). If room
temperature is not satisfactory
afier a reasonable time, set the
Thermostat Control at a higher
number for a cooler room or at a
lower number for a warmer room.
3. Set the Energy Saver Switch at
NORM position for continuous fan
operation or at SAVE position to
automatically cycle the fan on and
off with the compressor.
4. Be sure the AIR IN and AIR
OUT buttons are in the out position
except for brief periods when you
want to bring outdoor air into the
room or exhaust room air to the
outside.

1.

For quieter operation
1.
Set the Selector Switch at LO

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to
the desired number.
When the Thermostat Control is set
on 9 or 10 and the Fan is set on low
speed, moisture may freeze on the
coils and prevent the unit from
cooling. If this happens, set the
Fan at high speed and set the
Thermostat Control to a lower
number.
3. Be sure the AIR IN and AIR
OUT buttons are in the out position.
4. Set
the
