Using Air Conditioner
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:
1. Plug in the air conditioner. (To prevent electrical hazards, do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.)
2. Set the thermostat to the highest number (coldest or cooler setting).
3. Set the selector control to the highest FAN or COOL setting (see below).
4. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
5. Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to the setting you find most
comfortable.
Review the “Air Conditioner Features” section for other settings.
Air Conditioner Features
The controls featured in this manual are representational of the many models
available. Your model may offer slightly different features.
Selector Control
The selector control turns the unit on or off and allows a choice of either cooling
room air, circulating room air at the existing temperature, or heating room air.
COOL/FAN
Operate COOL/FAN modes according to the following suggestions:
ON/OFF or OFF = Turns air conditioner on and off.
HIGH COOL = Maximum cooling speed. Begin operation of the air conditioner in
this mode.
LOW COOL = Fan runs slow for quiet operation when maximum cooling is not
needed.
HIGH FAN = Maximum air circulation without cooling.
LOW FAN = Slow air circulation without cooling.
HEAT
The HEAT selection provides quiet, efficient circulation of warm air. Turn the selector
to the HEAT setting and set the thermostat at WARMER setting. When the HEAT
setting is selected, the thermostat maintains the temperature by automatically
turning the heater on and off in response to room temperature. The fan runs
continuously to circulate air in the room.
Once the room is warm, adjust the thermostat to a less warm position. This provides
less heat, or cooler temperatures.
A slight heat odor may come from the unit when first switching to HEAT after the
cooling season is over. This odor, caused by fine dust particles on the heater, will
disappear quickly.
Automatic Thermostat
When a COOL or HEAT setting is selected, the thermostat controls the amount of
cooling or heating by automatically turning the cooling compressor or heater on
and off in response to the room temperature.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is turned off,
wait 3 minutes before restarting. This
allows pressure inside the compressor to
equalize. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause inefficient
operation.
