Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results,

This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes

before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner
from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode
when outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not
operate properly.

NOTES:

• In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

If the electronic control will not respond to touch pad or
remote control commands, it is necessary to unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet for 5 seconds before plugging
