COOLER

THERMOSTAT

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.

OPEN VENT CLOSE

(ON THE LOWER RIGHT

SIDE

OF THE DISCHARGE GRILLE)

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.

Freezing up

Outside

a;r

temperature dropping

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.

Page 5

For normal cooling

1. Set the Selector Switch at HI

COOL.

2. Set the Thermostat Control

the desired number (usually 4-6 is

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.

For maximum cooling

1. Set the Selector Switch at

HI COOL.

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to

3. Set the Ventilation Control at CLOSE.

For quieter operation

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.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the

inlet

should be washed at least every

days or as often as it needs cleaning.

To remove the filter,

Grasp the tab

on the filter and pull to the right. Vacuum the

filter on the dusty side

to remove light dust. Wash the filter, cleaner side up, under gently flowing water to wash out accumulated dust and lint. If the

filter is very dirty, use a mild

household detergent in the wash water. Let the filter dry thoroughly before replacing it.

When replacing the filter,

be sure the word FRONT is facing you as you slide the filter back into place.

Energ-Saving

Tips

● Keep

the air

filter

clean.

●

For

most efficient cooling, keep the Ventilation Control in the CLOSE position except when you want to exhaust air, smoke or odors from the room.

● 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 tloor registers

and

cold

air

returns closed. Cold

air

can

easily

escape

through them.

●

Don’t let

drapes

or furniture block

the top or front

unit

and

restrict

air

flow when it is operating.

●

It’s best to operate your

air

conditioner

high

speed during

extremely hot weather.

●

Keep the outdoor condenser

coil clean.

●

Turn

air

conditioner off before vacations or extended absences from home.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped

loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.

● If plugged in, fuse could have blown or

circuit breaker may have tripped.

●

Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the top or

the front of the air conditioner will restrict air

flow.

● Thermostat Control

not be set high enough. Move the knob to a higher number. Highest setting should provide maximum cooling.

● Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at

least

every 30 days.

●

Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on. Allow time for it to cool down.

●

Cold air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.

● Ventilation Control may be set at OPEN

position, allowing hot outside air to enter the room.

● Cooling coils have iced up. To melt

ice,

move the Selector Switch to HI FAN and the Thermostat Control to a lower number.

● Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be

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.

● Excess water may

oveflow

in extremely 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.

Make the opening. Frame it to support the

weight of the air conditioner. Add metal flashing over bottom of frame opening
