For normal cooling
1.
Set
the Master Control at
“Cool
hi:’
2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually the
midpoint 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 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
“Cool

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to 8.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at

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
Master Control at “Fan hi” and set
the Thermostat Control to a lower
number.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at

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 “closed?’
For extreme temperatures
For greatest economy and best
performance, we suggest you set
the Master Control at “Cool hi” in
extremely hot weather.
