This switch controls the fan

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 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

For normal cooling

Set the Selector Switch to

COOL.

2. Set the Thermostat Control at the desired number (usually 5-7 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.

4. Set the Energy Saver Switch at

For quieter operation

Set the Selector Switch at

LO COOL. When the Thermostat Control is

set on 9 or 10 and the Fan is on,

moisture may freeze on the coils and prevent the unit from cooling. If this happens, set the Control to a lower number.

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 (5 or 6).

operation

For extreme temperatures

For greatest economy and best performance, we suggest that you set the Selector Switch at HI COOL in extremely hot weather.

For ventilation

Whether controls are set for cooling or fan operation only, setting the Ventilation Control at OPEN allows room air to be exhausted to the outside. This is helpful in removing stale air, smoke or odors from the room, and permits outdoor air to enter through normal openings in the house. 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.
