information can be found on the nameplate, which is located on the side of the

Air Conditioner Features

(continued) To use Energy Saver press the MODE button to select:

You will save energy usage in this mode. The compressor and motor will turn off once the room is at the desired temperature. The air will be sampled for 20 seconds every

10 minutes until the room is above the set temperature, at which point the compressor

turns back on and the fan runs. The entire process is now repeated.

To use the Sleep feature press the SLEEP button and the LED will illuminate:

The set temperature will increase 2 °F 30 minutes after this mode is selected. It will increase again after 30 minutes by another 2 °F. It will stay at this set point for 7 hours, and then return to the original setting.

This mode can be cancelled by pressing the TIMER button. The mode will operate one time, then the above steps have to be repeated.

ADDiTiONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you understand the basic operation functions, here are more control features with which you should become familiar.

overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

* There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility

of having to roll through to select another mode.

* The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees. * The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the

other and back, press and hold both the "TEMP/TIMER" Up(/_) and Down (v) buttons for 3 seconds.
