1.3 LOCATIONS OF CONTROLS
1.4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When servicing, set the ROTARY SWITCH to
Off and unplug the power cord.
2. Observe the original lead dress.
If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which
have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
3. After servicing, make an insulation resistance test
to prevent the customer from being exposed to
shock hazards.
1.5
INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper
between 2 pins (black and white).
2. The grounding conductor (green or green and yellow) is to be open.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter
between the jumpered lead and each exposed
metallic part on the equipment at all position
[except Off] of the ROTARY SWITCH.
4. The value should be over 1 MΩ.
CAUTION : After switching the air conditioner from Cool to Off or Fan, wait at least 3 minutes before switching it
back to Cool.
On/Off Timer
Fan/Cool/Dry
• Everytime you push this button, it will toggle between
COOL, FAN, and DRY.
Power
Temperature Setting
• This button can automatically control the temperature
of the room. The temperature can be set within a range of
60°F to 86°F by 1°F.
Select the lower number for lower temperature of the room.
Fan Speed
Energy Saver
The fan stops when the compressor stops cooling.
• Approximately every 3 minutes the fan will turn on and
check the room air to determine if cooling is needed.
Each press of the button cycles through the options in this
order: 1 Hour → 2 Hours → 3 Hours → 4 Hours → 5 Hours
→ 6 Hours → 7 Hours → 8 Hours → 9 Hours → 10 Hours →
11 Hours → 12 Hours → CANCEL.
The set temperature will be raised 2°F after 30 minutes
and again after another 30 minutes.
Each press of the button cycles through the options in this
order: 1 Hour → 2 Hours → 3 Hours → 4 Hours → 5 Hours
→ 6 Hours → 7 Hours → 8 Hours → 9 Hours → 10 Hours →
11 Hours → 12 Hours → CANCEL.
• To turn the unit ON, push the button. To turn the unit OFF,
push the button again.
• This button takes priority over any other buttons.
• When the unit is first powered up, it defaults to settings of
High Cool at 72°F.
• Pressing the Fan Speed button toggles between Low and
High speeds.
