INSTRUCTIONS
Energy-saving tips
● Keep the air filter clean. (See
instructions on page 5.)
. For most efficient cooling, keep
the vent control in the CLOSED
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 floor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold air
can easily escape through them.
●
Don’t let drapes or furniture block
the front of the unit and restrict air
flow when it is operating.
c
It’s best to operate your air
conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.
c
Keep the outdoor condenser coil
clean. (See page 5.)
. Turn the air conditioner off
before vacations or extended
absences from home.
Check the Problem Solver on
page 6. It lists causes of minor
operating problems that you can
correct yourself.

allowing

from the room. 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.
The power saver switch controls
the fan operation. When it’s in
the “norm” position, the fan will
circulate room air continuously.
When it’s in the “save” position,
the fan will automatically cycle on
and off with the compressor.

Controls
(continued)
For normal cooling
1. Set the Master Control at “Cool
hi:’
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.
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.
4. Set the Ventilation Control at
“closed” except for brief periods
when you want to exhaust room air
to the outside.
For maximum cooling
1.
Set the Master Control at “COOI
hi?’
2. Turn
the
Thermostat Control to 8.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
“closed:’
4. Set the Power Saver Switch at the
“norm” position.
For quieter operation
1. Set the Master Control at “Cool
lo” position.
2. Turn the Thermostat Control to
the desired number.
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
sped
and set 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 the sound level may be
more noticeable than when it’s at
the “norm” position.
For nighttime 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 “closed” and the Power Saver
Switch at “norm” or “save”
position.
For extreme temperatures
For greatest economy and best
performance, we suggest you set
the Master Control at “Cool hi”
in extremely hot weather.
