This is a warm weather appliance
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside
temperature is above 60°F (16°C), so it won't cool a room if it is already cool
outside. Also, it willnot provide adequate heating when the outdoor ambient
temperature falls below 37°F (3°C).
Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the

of the water tokeep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there

the frosting from recurring.
Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. We build them to operateas quietly as

installed (refer to Installation Instructions, Step 8, page 8).

Heat pumps operate differently

cooling:
1. It is normal for ice to form on the outdoor coil of the heat pump.
Moisture in the outside air, passing over the coil when very cold,
will form ice.
2. If the outdoor temperature drops below 37°F (-3°C), your heat

the temperature rises to 40°F (4°C) , the compressor will resume
the heat pump operation. If your unit is a 115 volt model (YQ07), it
is designed for use in warmer climates and has no electrical heat
feature, and will not provide adequate heat below 37°F(3°C).
