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. Call your local authorized dealer for an annual checkup. Remember... the cost of this service call is your responsibility.

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. Check the filter every 2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

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

1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Remove the air filter by sliding the air filter from either side of the front panel.

1. 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.
2. Replace the air filter by sliding the air filter back in on either side of the front panel.

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.

Repairing Paint Damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

Annual Maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense of an annual inspection is your responsibility.

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 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. Press the Power button.
■ The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.

■ The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into grounded 3 prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements.”

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 heat-producing 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/heat room in cooling/heating 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.
■ The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are dirty or obstructed by debris. See "Annual Maintenance."
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 heat-producing 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^ F ( 18^ C). Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside temperature is below 65^ F ( 18^ C).
■ 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 Exhaust control is set to Open. Push the Exhaust control Closed for maximum cooling.
■ The Temp control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the Temp control to a cooler setting by pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed control to the highest setting.
■ The air conditioner in the heating mode has insufficient Btu/h for the heating requirements of the room. Do not use the air conditioner as a primary source of heat.

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 in the bottom of the metal base and condensate pan.
