Won't cool?
If your air conditioner operates, but won’t cool; check to see if the controls
are properly set. Check the filter and clean thoroughly if needed. Check to
see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to Installation Instructions,
Step 8,page 8).
Won't run?
Make sure the power cord is plugged in completely. Check for a bad fuse,
tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device. Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset
instructionsand to con
rm proper fuse size.
For XQ models only:
You can reset the circuit board by pressing the “MODE” button and the
“TEMPERATURE DOWN” button at the same time. The LEDs (small red
lights) for Hour, Start and Stop will begin blinking. Once this occurs, turn
the unit off by pressing the On/Off button once and then unplug the unit.
Finally, plug the unit back in and turn it on by pressing the On/Off button
once. All settings revert back to the factory default settings.
This is a warm weather appliance
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside
temperatureis above60°F(16°C),soitwon't coolaroomif itis alreadycool

temperature falls below 37°F (3°C).
Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the
outside air. Humidity be comes water, and your air conditioner will use most
ofthewatertokeeptheoutsidecoilcool.Ifthereisexcessivehumidity,there
maybe excess water that will dripoutside. This isnormal op er a tion.
Frosting
This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty
filter, cool damp weath er, or all of these. Set unit to Fan Only and the frost
will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent
the frosting from recurring.
