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.

• There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having

to roll through to select another mode.

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

• After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.

AUGER WHEEL

Air Directional Louvers

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

type described below.

Auger Type

Rotate the Auger Wheel until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained.

Care and Cleaning Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug

the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

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.

• Remove filter by sliding out from the right side.

• 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.

Do not block air flow 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 duct work.

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 weather 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 work load.

Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers

during the coolest part of the day.
