illustration exactly.

Set the Fan or System Control to the desired setting.

FAN ONLY (on some models)

.,............ for circulating air

without cooling

The Fan or System Control settings determine the amount of cool air coming from the louvers.

NOTE:

Set the Exhaust Control (on some models) to

CLOSED for maximum cooling.

2. Turn the Thermostat or Temp Control to a mid-setting. For maximum cooling, turn the Thermostat or Temp

Control clockwise. For less cooling, turn the Thermostat or Temp Control counterclockwise. Experiment and find

the setting that suits you best.

NOTES:

If you turn the air conditioner off, 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 when the outside temperature is below 65°F (18%). The

inside evaporator coil may freeze up and the air conditioner may not operate properly.

Using the exhaust control

(on some models)

The Exhaust Control determines how air is circulated through the air conditioner. It allows you to circulate room air or exhaust stale/smoky air.

To circulate room air (Figure 6)

set Exhaust Control to

CLOSED. This setting allows continuous cooling.

To exhaust stale/smoky air

set Exhaust Control

to OPEN.

Exhaust control tips

For maximum cooling efficiency, set the Exhaust Control

to CLOSED.

The Exhaust Control will only function when the System or Fan Control is turned to an “on” setting.

Changing air direction

The louvers in the,, top of the front panel allow you to control the direction of the cooled air. Use the tabs to direct the air up, down, right, left, or straight ahead.

See Figure 7.

Normal operating sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear such sounds

as:

A “pinging” sound caused from water droplets hitting the condenser. This is an energy efficient design whereby the water cools the condenser.

Air movement from the fan.

Clicks from the thermostat cycling on and off.

Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window

construction.

A high pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern high efficiency compressor cycling on and off.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy by reducing your air

conditioner’s work load:

Improve your home’s insulation. Seal doors and win-

dows. Close fireplace flue.

Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your house.

Add awnings.

Check air filter often to make sure it is clean.

Do not block airflow with drapes or furniture.

Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add to

the cooling load of your air conditioner.

Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

Turn lights and appliances off when they are not needed.

. Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.

Use exhaust/venting fans while cooking, bathing, and doing laundry.
