THERMOSTAT

Thermostat Control

When you turn the Thermostat Control to the desired setting, it will automatically control the temperature of the indoor air. The higher the number selected, the cooler the indoor air will be.

*Ene~y

This switch controls the fan operation.

NORM setting allows continuous fan function, circulating air even when the compressor has cycled off and the thermostat setting has been reached. This setting is recommended for maximum comfort.

SAVE setting lets the fan cycle on and off with-the compressor during

cooling. The fan stops when the thermostat setting is satisfied. This setting results in longer off time and wider variations of room temperature and humidity. This setting is normally used when the room is unoccupied.

● Keep the air filter clean. (See

instructions on page 6.)

For most efficient cooling, keep the Ventilation Control in the closed position except when you want to allow a outdoor air to enter the room or to exhaust air, smoke or odors from the room. See page 4.

●

Don’t let the room get too hot. Whenever possible, turn the unit on before the room heats up. When heat is “stored up” in walls, furniture, rugs and draperies, your air conditioner takes longer to produce the desired comfort condition.

●

Keep windows and doors closed. Cool, dry air escapes when they’re open.

. Keep furnace floor registers and cold air returns closed. Cold air

can easily escape through them. . Don’t let drapes or furniture block

the front of the unit and restrict air flow when it is operating.

●

It’s best to operate your air

conditioner at high speed during extremely hot weather.

● Thermostat click, a metallic sound, maybe

heard when compressor cycles on and off. This is normal.

●

Fan runs continuously when Selector Switch is in COOL or FAN position. This is normal. When Energy Saver Switch is set at SAVE, fan cycles on and off with compressor.

●

Excess water may overflow in excessively hot

and humid weather. This is normal.

●

Air conditioner must be installed level or tilted

slightly to the outside for proper water disposal.

●

This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid areas. Moisture removed from indoor air drains to rear of cabinet, where it is picked up by a fan and thrown against the outdoor condenser coil.
