ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.

• The “Cool “ circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

• The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees.

• The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other and back, press and hold the “TEMP/TIMER” Up ( ) and Down ( ) buttons together for 3 seconds.

Fresh Air Vent Control (On some models)

The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:

1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (see Fig. 1)

2. Draw fresh air into the room - Vent Open (see Fig. 2)

3. Exchange air from the room and draws fresh air into the room - Vent and Exhaust Open (see Fig. 3)

Air Directional Louvers

Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver type described below.

Auger Type

The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired Up/Down direction is obtained.

Care and Cleaning

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

• Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position (where applicable).

• Open the front panel.

• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.

• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.

• Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.

• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

• Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.

Energy Saving Ideas

• Do not block airflow inside with blinds, curtains, or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.

• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.

• Close the fireplace damper, floor, and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the ductwork.

• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”

• Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.

• External house shading with trees, plants, or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s workload.

• Operate heat-producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
