2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually the

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 Power Saver Switch at
“norm” position for continuous fan
operation or at “save” position to
automatically cycle the fan on and
off with the compressor.

When the Thermostat Control is
set on 7 or 8 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 the Thermostat
Control to a lower number.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
“closed?’
4. Set the Power Saver Switch at
the “norm” position.
Note: When the Power Saver
Switch is at the “save” position,
changes in sound level maybe
more noticeable than when it’s at
the “norm” position.
For ni@ttime operation
During the cooler evening hours,
we recommend that you set the
Master Control at “Cool lo” for
very quiet operation and the
Thermostat Control at mid-range
(4 or 5). Set the Ventilation Control
at
