AIR CONDITIONER USE

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.

This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

■ If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes before

turning it back on. This keeps the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

Starting Your Air Conditioner

■ Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when

outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

Maximum cooling

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the “HI“ setting.

2. Set the thermostat control to the MAX COOL temperature mark.

Quieter operation

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the “LOW“ setting.

2. Set the thermostat control as needed.

Changing Air Direction

Use the tab to direct the airﬂow right or left.

POWER Turn air conditioner on or off.

SPEED

LOW Low speed fan operate with optional cooling.

HIGH High speed fan operate with optional cooling.

This automatically controls the temperature of indoor air.Turn the knob so that the arrow points to the cooler marks for more moderate cooling.

Normal Fan

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the “HI“ or the “LOW“ setting.

2. Set the thermostat control to the “FAN ONLY” setting .

Normal cooling

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the “HI“ or the “LOW“ setting.

2. Set the thermostat control to the desired temperature.(The mid-point is a good starting position .) If the room temperature is not satisfactory after a reasonable time,adjust the control to a cooler setting,as appropriate.

A. Tab

Normal Sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:

■ Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or

clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.

■ Air movement from the fan.

■ Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

■ Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.

■ A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern

high-efﬁciency compressor cycling on and off.

AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care for your air conditioner properly.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air ﬁlter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean ﬁlter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best cooling and operating efﬁciency. Be sure to check the ﬁlter every two (2) weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the ﬁlter in place.

1. Turn off the air conditioner.

2. Remove the air ﬁlter by opening the front panel and removing the air ﬁlter.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air ﬁlter. If the air ﬁlter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash the air ﬁlter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry the air ﬁlter completely before replacing to ensure maximum efﬁciency.

4. Replace the air ﬁlter.

5. Close the front panel.

6. Turn on the air conditioner.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Turn off the air conditioner.

2. Clean the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.

3. Air dry the front panel completely.

4. Turn on the air conditioner.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.

Air Conditioner Will Not Operate

■ The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into a grounded

3 prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has

popped out). Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset

button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.

■ A household fuse has blown, or circuit breaker has

tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the

problem continues, call an electrician. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ The Power button has not been pressed or the Mode

control knob is turned to Off. Press POWER or turn the

Mode control knob to an active setting.

■ The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

■ Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.

Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

■ Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity

is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker of the correct capacity. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension

cord with this or any other appliance.

■ You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after

turning off the air conditioner. Wait at least 3 minutes after

turning off the air conditioner before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner power supply cord trips (Reset button pops out)

■ Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (Reset

button will pop out) the power supply cord. Press and

release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.

■ Electrical overloading, overheating, cord pinching or aging

can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord.

After correcting the problem, press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.

Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not cool room in cooling mode

■ The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.

Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.

■ The ﬁlter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the ﬁlter.

■ There is excessive heat or moisture (open container

cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

■ The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a

location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.

■ The outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). Do not try to

operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).

■ The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is

extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool

off a very hot room.

■ Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all

windows and doors.

■ The Temperature control is not at a cool enough setting.

Adjust the control to a cooler setting to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed control to the highest setting.

Water drips from cabinet into your house

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a

new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

■ The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The

use of more efﬁcient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efﬁciency. Refer to the efﬁciency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.

■ The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or

heat producing appliances are in use in the room. Use

exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.

■ The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air

conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation Instructions.

NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base and condensate pan.
