HOW AND WHY
Your room air conditioner provides the following
functions to make hot weather I]ving more
comfortable:
• Cools and circu{ates room sir,
- Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture.
, Fiite_ out aumtr_rtime dust, dirt, and some
airborne impurities,
The air conditioner performs these fun_ons by
drawing room air through a filter which traps dust
and dirtparticles_ The air then passes over a
cooling coil which refrigerates the air and removes
excess moisture, The same air is then returned to
the room- cooter_ drier, and cleaner. Moisture
removed from the room air is carried to the outside
and evaporated_
Your sir conditioner is designed to be easy to
operate and to provide plenty of cooling power,
NORMAL SOUNDS FtG. ,3
Aside from the regular fan motor and:compn_ssor
sounds coming from your air conditioner, you will
once in s white hear a pinging sound. This is the
result of moisture being picked up from the air in the
room an_ thrown against the air conditioners fan,
This is normal and should not be cause for concern,
Also_ do not be alarmed if you hear a slight hissing
or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner
after it is off. These are normal coolant noises.
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired
comfort for the area you want to cool The proper
size is determined by the number of square feet
in thearea to be cooled, indoor and outdoor
temperature and hum{dlty.
Whenever the heat or humidity load is above: norms}
the air conditioner must run longer and more olten
to keep the desired temperature you have selected,
Under heavy heat icad conditions the a_r cenc_itioner
may need to run constantly to keep the temperature
you want,
At times using the MED FAN setting to circulate
room air may make it comfortable even though the
air is not being ccoied. This wdti decrease your cost
of use.
--Compressor
The mo_em high efficiency
compressor may have a high
pitched hum or pulsating
noise that cycles on andoff,
-- Unit Vibration
The unitmay vibrate
and make noise
because of poor wall
orwindow construction,
Fan
You may hear air
movement from
the fan,
-- Condenser
You may hear droplets ofwater hitting
the condenser causing a pinging or
clicklng sound,

USING THE AIR CONDITIONER
To r_duce the r_k of fire, elec_c
shock, or injury to persons, read the important
SAFETY instructions sectionbefore operating this
applianos
To begin operating the air condltlorterafter
installation, foJ!ow these steps:
t. Plug in the air conditioner. (To prevent eiectrica_
hazards, do not use an extension cord or an
adapter piucj.)
2. Set the exhaust vent to the CLOSE position.
3. Set the TEMP Control to the coolest setting.
4. Set the MODE con+rot at the highest COOL level.
5. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow.
6. Once the room has cooled, adjust the TEMP and
Mode Control to the setting you find most
comfortable.
NOTE :If the air conditioner isturned off, wait 3
minutes before resta_ng. This attows prassurs
|r_6e the compressor to equalize. Failure to wait 3
minutes before restarting may cause inefficient
operation.
if you move the TEMP Control to a warmer, then
fmmediate_y back to a cooler setting, the unit will
shut off. WaN 3 minutes before restarting.
VENT CONTROL
The Vent Control aitows the air cottdltioner to
either r_c_rcuiz_e inside air (CLOSE) or exhaust
air to the outside (OPEN), (F_G, 25)
- The CLOSE position Ssused when maximum
coo|ing is desired, tt may also be us_d for a_r
recirculetton without cooling when the air
conditioner is set in the FAN position.
* The OPEN position removes sta_e air from the
room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is
dr_wn into the room through your home's
norrna_ air passages.
* The OPEN or CLOSE position can be used with
any mode setsc_Jon.
