AIRCONDITIONERUSE

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 65°F (18°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not

operate properly.

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