• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day

• Clean the air filter as recommended in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual

• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air In.

" External house shading with trees, plants or

awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work load.

HOW ÄND WHY

Your room air conditioner provides the foliowing

functions to make hot weather living more

cornfortable: » Cools and circulates room air.,

• Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture,

• Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities.

The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter which traps dust

di lU Lin L üd.1 tiwitrb u I E Id dli Indl f pabbdb Uvxsi a,

cooling coil which refrigerates the air and removes excess moisture. The same air is then returned to the room- cooler, drier, and cleaner, Moisture removed from the room air is carried to the outside and evaporated..

Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.

NORIVIÄL SOUNDS fig. 23

Aside from the regular fan motor and compressor sounds coming from your air conditioner, you will once in a while hear a pinging sound. This is the result of moisture being picked up from the air in the room and thrown against the air conditioner’s fan. This is normal and should not be cause for concern. Also, do not be aiarmed if you hear a slight hissing or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner after it is off. These are normal coolant noises.

- Compressor

The modern high efficiency compressor may have a high pitched hum or pulsating noise that cycles on and off,

Unit Vibration

The unit may vibrate

and make noise because of poor wall

or window construction.

Fart

You may hear air movement from the fan.

Condenser

You may hear droplets of water hitting the condenser causing a pinging or clicking sound.

FIG. 23

CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME

Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired comfort for the area you want to cool. An undersized unit wili not have the capability to cool, leaving the area uncomfortably warm. The proper size Is determined by the number of square feet in the area to be cooled, indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity

Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal the air conditioner must run longer and more often

^Q/зг\ tHo HcJ6г:!гcs/^ ^omг^csгE^t^ iro coIq/'IoH

Under heavy heat load conditions the air conditioner may need to run constantly to keep the temperature you want At times using the MED FAN setting to circulate the room air may make it comfortable even though the air is not being cooled. This will decrease your cost of use

• The CLOSE position is used when maximum cooling is desired. It may also be used for air recirculation without cooling when the air conditioner is set in the FAN position,,

«The OPEN position removes stale air from the

room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is

drawn into the room through your home's

normal air passages.

• The OPEN or CLOSE position can be used with any fan selection.
