Exhaust vent control tips
l
For maximum cooling efficiency, set the Exhaust
Vent
Control to CLOSED.
l
The Exhaust Vent Control will only function when the
Fan Control is turned to an “on” setting (ENERGY
SAVER or NORMAL FAN). If no cooling is desired,
set Fan Control to Fan Only.
Using the ENERGY SAVER
settings
(on some models)
The ENERGY SAVER settings are located on the Fan or
System Control (QUICK COMFORT, MED and LO). See
Figure 5. When these settings are selected, the fan will
cycle on and off as the Thermostat Control turns the
compressor on and off. This saves the cost of electrical
energy that would be used to run the fan continuously.
Changing air direction
The air direction cartridges on both sides of the unit control
the direction of the cooled air. The air direction cartridges
rotate to direct the air straight ahead or to the sides of the
unit. The louvers in each air direction cartridge are oper-
ated by a tab. Use the tab to direct the air up, down, or
straight ahead. See Figure 6.
Normal operating sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may
hear such sounds as:
l
A “pinging” sound caused from water droplets hitting the
condenser. This is an energy efficient design whereby
the water cools the condenser.
l
Air movement from the fan.
l
Clicks from the thermostat cycling on and off.
l
Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
l
A high pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the
modern high efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
