Thermostat Control

When you move the Thermostat
Control to the desired setting,
the thermostat will automatically
control the temperature of the

indoor air. The higher the number
selected, the cooler the indoor air
will become.

If you notice that your air

conditioner is not cooling as it

should, it may be that ice has formed
on the cooling coils. The ice blocks
air flow and stops the unit from
cooling the room. This “freezing up”

is a temporary condition that most
often occurs at night when the
Thermostat is set at a higher number
and the Selector is set on LO COOL.

To correct the condition, set the

Selector at HI FAN or HI COOL
and move the Thermostat to the

warmest setting.

Ventilation Control

When you move the Ventilation

Control to CLOSE, the vent door

is closed and only the air inside
the room will be circulated and
conditioned. Moving the control
to OPEN opens the vent door,
allowing a small amount of indoor
air to be exhausted from the room.

However, cooling effectiveness is
reduced when this control is set at
OPEN, so we suggest you don’t
keep it there long—especially in
hot, humid weather.

A

For normal cooling

For quieter operation

To adjust air direction

1. Set the Selector Switch at HI

COOL.

2. Set the Thermostat Control
the desired number (usually 4-6 is

a

good starting position). If room

temperature is not satisfactory
after 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 Ventilation Control at
CLOSE except for brief periods
when you want to exhaust room air
to the outside.

1. Set the Selector Switch at

1. Set the Selector Switch at the
LO COOL position.

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to
the desired number.

3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE.

For nighttime operation

During the cooler evening hours,
we recommend that you set the
Selector Switch at LO COOL
for quieter operation and the
Thermostat Control at mid-range
(4 or 5). Set the Ventilation Control
at CLOSE.

For extreme temperatures

For greatest economy and best
performance, we suggest you set

the Selector Switch at HI COOL in
extremely hot weather.
