Troubleshooting Tips

o

The capacity of the room air conditioner must tit the room size tor efficient and
satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that
faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work.

Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning."
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.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

How and Why

Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather
living more comfortable:

“ Cools and circulates room air.

Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture. High moisture levels may

cause the air conditioner to drip excess moisture outside.

• 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 and dirt particles. 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 — cooler, drier and cleaner. Moisture removed from the room air is carried
to the outside and evaporated. This moisture may form ice on the inside coil if the
outside temperature is below 65 degrees. Setting the air conditioner on the fastest
fan setting in FAN ONLY will defrost the coll.

Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of
cooling power. Your air conditioner is also more efficient than (most) older models
and may run longer to cool the room, but will use less energy due to higher ener
gy efficiency ratings.

Sound of RushinL> Air

At the front of the unit,

you may hear the sound

of rushing air being moved
by the fan.

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 the area to

be cooled.

Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal the air conditioner must run

longer and more often to keep the desired temperature you have selected. Under

heavy heat load conditions the air conditioner may need to run constantly to keep
the temperature you want. Allow some time to cool the room if the air conditioner
was recently turned on. Using the "AUTO START" feature will allow you to start
cooling the room prior to returning home.

At times using the fastest Fan setting to circulate the room air may make it
comfortable even though you do not have the air conditioner set to cool the air.
This will decrease your cost to use.
