Operating
Instructions
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Starting your air conditioner
See Figures l-5
for control panel variations. This manual
covers several different models. The model‘you have
purchased may have all or some of the control panel
variations shown here, and they may not match the
illustration exactly.
1.
Set the Fan or System Control to the desired setting.
HI/HIGH COOL
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for
maximum
cooling
MED/MEDIUM COOL
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for normal
cooling
LO/LOW COOL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
for sleeping comfort
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:
l
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.
l
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.
l
To circulate room air (Figure 6)
set Exhaust Control to
CLOSED. This setting allows continuous cooling.
l
To exhaust stale/smoky air
set Exhaust Control
to OPEN.
Exhaust control tips
l
For maximum cooling efficiency, set the Exhaust Control
to CLOSED.
l
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:
l
A “pinging” sound caused from water droplets hitting the
condenser. This is an energy efficient design whereby
the water cools the condenser.
l
Air movement from the fan.
l
Clicks from the thermostat cycling on and off.
l
Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
l
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:
l
Improve your home’s insulation. Seal doors and win-
dows. Close fireplace flue.
l
Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your house.
Add awnings.
l
Check air filter often to make sure it is clean.
l
Do not block airflow with drapes or furniture.
l
Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add to
the cooling load of your air conditioner.
l
Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
l
Turn lights and appliances off when they are not needed.
. Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.
l
Use exhaust/venting fans while cooking, bathing, and
doing laundry.
