The local power has failed.

• Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.

• Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning off air conditioner.

• Wait at least 3 minutes after turning off air conditioner before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

Is there a door or window open?

• Keep doors and windows closed.

The current air conditioner replaced an older model.

• The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.

The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-producing appliances are in use in the room.

• Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Portable air conditioners are designed as supplemental cooling to local areas within a room. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner runs for a short time only, but room is not cool

Set temperature is close to room temperature.

• Lower set temperature. See " portable Air Conditioner Use".
