AIR CONDITIONER USE

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 keeps the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

• Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when outside temperature is below 65^ ( 18^ ). 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.

Starting Your Air Conditioner

POWER Turn air conditioner on or off.

SPEED

LOW Low speed fan operate with optional cooling.

HIGH High speed fan operate with optional cooling. This automatically controls the temperature of indoor air. Turn the knob so that the arrow points to the cooler marks for more moderate cooling.

Normal Fan

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the "HI" or the "LOW" setting.
2. Set the thermostat control to the "FAN ONLY" setting.

Normal cooling

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the "HI" or the "LOW" setting.
2. Set the thermostat control to the desired temperature.(The mid-point is a good starting position.)

If the room temperature is not satisfactory after a reasonable time, adjust the control to a cooler setting, as appropriate.

Maximum cooling

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the "HI" setting.
2. Set the thermostat control to the MAX COOL temperature mark.

Quieter operation

1. Turn the SPEED mode switch to the "LOW" setting.
2. Set the thermostat control as needed.

Changing Air Direction

Use the tab to direct the airflow right or left.

A. Tab

Normal Sounds

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

• Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
  Air movement from the fan.
• Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
  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.

AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care for your air conditioner properly.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best cooling and operating efficiency. Be sure to check the filter every two (2) weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in place.

A. Air filter
B. Front panel

1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Remove the air filter by opening the front panel and removing the air filter.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If the air filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry the air filter completely before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
4. Replace the air filter.
5. Close the front panel.
6. Turn on the air conditioner.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Clean the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
4. Turn on the air conditioner.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.

Air Conditioner Will Not Operate

WARNING

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.

• The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. See "Electrical Requirements."
• The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has popped out). Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.
• A household fuse has blown, or circuit breaker has tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. See "Electrical Requirements."
• The Power button has not been pressed or the Mode control knob is turned to Off. Press POWER or turn the Mode control knob to an active setting.
  The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

• Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit. Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the correct capacity. See "Electrical Requirements."
  An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension cord with this or any other appliance.
• You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning off the air conditioner. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning off the air conditioner before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner power supply cord trips (Reset button pops out)

Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.
- Electrical overloading, overheating, cord pinching or aging can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord. After correcting the problem, press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

• The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.
• The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not cool room in cooling mode

• The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
  The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
• There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
• The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
• The outside temperature is below 65^ (18^) . Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside temperature is below 65^ (18^) .
• The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room.
• Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows and doors.
• The Temperature control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the control to a cooler setting to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed control to the highest setting.

Water drips from cabinet into your house

• The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation Instructions.

NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base and condensate pan.
