Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions

  • This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used when the outdoor temperature is below freezing (32°F).

Remote Control

  • To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.
  • The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
  • Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
  • Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.

Cool Mode

  • Use the Cool Mode at Low, Med, High or Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase +/ Decrease –pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
  • An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.
  • NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
  • Cooling Descriptions
    • For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.
    • For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High fan with a lower set temperature.
    • For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.

Energy Saver Mode

  • Controls the fan.
  • ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This may result in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. NOTE: the fan may continue to run for a short time or may pulse intermittently after the compressor cycles off to sample the room air.
  • OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.

Fan Only Mode: Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med, High fan Speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan-only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the display

  • Auto Fan Mode: Set to Auto for the fan speed to automatically set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.
  • If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed will automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.

Air Direction: Use the lever to adjust the air direction left to right

Troubleshooting Tips...

Before you call for service

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

1. Air conditionerdoes not start.

  • The unit is unplugged.
  • The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.
    • Check the house fuse/ circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
  • Power Failure.
    • The unit will automatically restart in the setting last used after the power is restored.
    • There is a protective time delay (approximately 3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal cooling for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
  • The current interrupter device is tripped.
    • Press RESET button located on the power cord plug.
    • If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

2. Air conditioner does not cool as it should.

  • Indoor airflow is restricted.
    • Make sure there are not curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
  • The temp control may not be set properly.
    • Turn the temperature control to a higher number.
  • The air filter is dirty. Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See Care and Cleaning section.
    • The room may have been hot. When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to cool down.
  • Cold air is escaping.
    • Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.
  • Cooling coils have iced up.
    • See "Air conditioner freezing up" below

3. Air conditioner freezing up

  • Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.
    • Set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool with the temperature setting as high as it can be set.

4. Water drips outside

  • Hot, humid weather.
    • This is normal.

5. Water drips inside

  • The air conditioner is not tilted to the outside.
    • For proper disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the case front to the rear.

6. Water collects in base pan

  • Moisture removed from air and drain into base pan.
    • This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid areas.

Normal Operating Sounds

  • You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
  • You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
  • Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.
  • The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
  • Water droplets being thrown against the outside coils can make a pinging noise. This helps cool the condenser. You can reduce this noise by removing the subbase water plug.

Removing this plug will lower the Energy Efficiency of your until.

NOTE: Do not drill hole in the base pan.
