cooling performance by resetting the thermostat control to a higher number for more cooling. Set thermostat control to a lower number for less cooling. You will need to experiment to find the setting which suits you best.

NOTE: If you turn your air conditioner off or if the compressor turns off when lowering the thermostat control, wait at least three (3) minutes before turning it back on or you may blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.

Changing air direction

The louvers, in the top grille area of the air conditioner, control the direction of the cooled air. Move the tab, at the top of the louvered area, in the direction you want the air to go (right, left or straight ahead).
