Frequently Asked Questions - 7M11TA AMANA

How do I clean the filter?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the filter from the front grille, wash it with warm water, let it dry completely, then reinstall.

Why is the unit not cooling?

Check the filter for dirt, ensure the set temperature is lower than the room temperature, verify the power cord is plugged in securely, and inspect window sealing for air leaks.

How to use the remote control?

Point the remote toward the unit’s receiver. Press the Mode button to choose cooling, fan, or energy saver. Use +/- to adjust temperature and fan speed.

What does Energy Saver mode do?

Energy Saver mode cycles the compressor and fan based on temperature. The fan runs only when cooling, which reduces electricity use.

How to set the timer?

Press the Timer button on the remote or control panel. Use +/- to set the desired off/on time, then wait 5 seconds to confirm.

Can I use an extension cord?

No. Plug the air conditioner directly into a grounded outlet. Extension cords can cause voltage drop and overheating.

How to install the air conditioner?

Follow the manual: open the window, attach the mounting bracket, slide the unit into place, lower the window sash onto the top, and seal gaps with the provided foam.

Why is water leaking from the unit?

Ensure the unit is level (slightly tilted to the outside). Clean the drain hole and avoid using in high humidity without draining.

How to switch between cool and fan modes?

Press the Mode button repeatedly to cycle through Cool, Fan, and Energy Saver modes. The current mode will be displayed.

What room size is recommended?

For optimal cooling, the 11000 BTU unit is recommended for rooms up to 450 sq. ft. under normal conditions.

Safety Features

This room air conditioner is equipped with an electronic control to improve comfort and ensure reliability.

Compressor Lockout

To extend the life of the compressor a three minute time delay will occur when:

• Electrical power is first supplied to the unit
• The thermostat is turned down immediately after the compressor stops running.
• The Fan Control is quickly turned from FAN ONLY to COOLING mode or vice versa.

Low Voltage Protection

This unit is equipped with "brownout" protection. In case of an extreme brownout, the Amana control will interrupt power to the unit to prevent compressor failure. When the line voltage reaches at least 100 VAC, the control will re-energize your unit.

Note: A compressor lockout will occur after the unit is re-energized.

Advantages of Amana's Electronic Controls

Operation

Vent Control

Open or close the vent by sliding the vent control lever to the appropriate setting.

EXHAUST - This setting opens the vent to move indoor air out.

Note: To conserve energy, the unit should be set to the FAN ONLY mode when using this setting.

CLOSED - In this position the vent is closed and room air is recirculated and filtered. This position should be used for all normal cooling operations (see underlined cooling options on control panel).

Unit Control

ENERGY SAVER

ENERGY SAVER (HIGH, MED and LOW) - ENERGY SAVER mode provides the most energy efficient use of your room air conditioner. In ENERGY SAVER mode, the fan stops when the compressor stops cooling. This feature can be used with SMART COOL or cooling with any fan speed.

Amana's new air sampling system works to maintain set temperature within 1.5°F while in ENERGY SAVER mode. Approximately every 5 minutes the fan will turn on and "sample" the room air to determine if cooling is needed. If the room is cool enough, the fan will cycle off. If the room needs further cooling, the compressor will start along with the fan until the set temperature is reached.

ENERGY SAVER has a soft start fan feature. This feature starts the fan in low speed to reduce noise.

FAN ONLY

FAN ONLY - FAN ONLY circulates room air at the set fan speed without cooling. This feature can be turned off by pressing the FAN ONLY,

the SMART COOL, or the ENERGY SAVER button. Indoor temperature is displayed in FAN ONLY mode.

Control Panel

OFF - Completely shuts off the unit.

SMART COOL - SMART COOL adjusts the fan speed of the unit to achieve the selected temperature. The SMART COOL feature uses computer logic to cool the room quickly and quietly. The fan speed starts on high, automatically switches to medium, and finally goes to low as the room temperature nears the set temperature.

LOWFAN, MED FAN, HIGH FAN

- These three buttons are used to select either a low, medium or high

fan speed to cool. If FAN ONLY is selected these buttons change fan speed without cooling. Selecting the fan speed starts normal cooling.

SET Temperature - These key pads increase or decrease the set temperature.

DELAY TIMER - This button provides a means of delaying the start up or shut down of the air conditioner from 1 to 24 hours from the present

time. After setting the delay timer, the displayed time will countdown to unit start or stop. See next page for details.

Brightness Adjust Feature

(some models) - Display brightness can be changed using the "up" or "down" keypad. To decrease brightness, simultaneously press and hold OFF pad with "down" arrow. To increase brightness, simultaneously press and hold OFF pad with "up" arrow.

Note: Changes can be made only while display is flashing. You will have 5 seconds between each temperature, operating mode, and fan speed selection. If a selection is not made during this time frame, the unit will select the default and proceed to the next step: Setting the delay time. If you wish to reset a missed selection, press the DELAY TIMER button and begin again.

General Information

Changing Air Flow Direction

• Adjust horizontal baffles for directing air up or down
• Adjust vertical baffles with handle to direct air left or right

Air Flow Around Unit

Check indoor grille and outdoor louvers for air flow obstructions. Do not block air flow to and from unit. The outdoor coil should be checked and periodically cleaned for debris that

may collect and block unit air flow. If air flow is obstructed or deflected back into unit, the compressor may cycle on and off rapidly, causing early compressor failure.

Care and Maintenance
