Operating Your Air

Conditioner

In order to obtain the best possible results from your air conditioner, it is important that you

operate it properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Starting your air conditioner

Fire Hazard

Do not use an extension cord.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

1. Set Fan Control

to the desired setting.

LOW COOL

............ for sleeping comfort

MEDIUM COOL

..........for normal cooling

HIGH COOL

...........for maximum cooling

FAN ONLY

...........for circulating room air

when no cooling is desired

2. Turn the Thermostat Control

to the

desired setting. You can adjust the air

conditioner’s cooling performance by

turning the Thermostat Control clockwise

for more cooling or counterclockwise for

less cooling. You will need to experiment

to find the setting which suits you best.

NOTE:

If you turn your air conditioner off or

if the compressor turns off when lowering

the Thermostat Control, wait at least 3

minutes before turning it back on. Doing

this keeps the air conditioner from blowing

a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death or electrical shock,

Changing air direction

The louvers, in the top grille area of the air

conditioner, control the direction of the

cooled air. Move the tab, at the top left of the

louvered area, in the direction you want the

air to go (right, left, or straight ahead).

Caring for Your Air

Conditioner

Proper maintenance of your air conditioner will help ensure longer life and lower operating

costs. This section will tell you how to clean your air conditioner and perform annual mainte-

nance. You can always call your authorized Whirlpool service dealer for an annual checkup.

If very dirty, wash filter with warm water

and mild detergent. Air dry thoroughly

before replacing.

3. Replace filter by sliding it back down into

opening at top of front panel.

Performing annual maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual mainte-

nance to help ensure steady, top performance

throughout the year.

Call the service company recommended

by your dealer to:

Inspect and clean the coils and conden-

sate water passages.

Check fan.

The compressor and fan motor are sealed

and need no oiling. Expense of annual

inspection is the customer’s responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances,

you can do the cleaning and maintenance

yourself. If you choose to do so, follow the

steps on page 9.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug power cord from outlet

before servicing.

Be sure no liquid gets into the

motor, electrical control box, or

compressor terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result In death, electrical shock,

or serious injury.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use 2 or more people to move and

install air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or

other injury.

NOTE:

Do not lift, push, or pull any white

beaded foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

Unplug the power cord.

Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning

the front panel” on page 7.)

Remove the unit from the window.

Remove the side curtains. Slide curtains

out to their fullest width. From the back

side, remove the Phillips-head screws

which attach the curtains to the cabinet.

(See A in illustration.)

Remove the slotted, hex-head screws

holding the top channel. (See B

in illustration.)

6. Remove slotted, hex-head screws on

sides of cabinet. (See C in illustration.)

carefully lift cabinet off base. Watch out

for the sharp metal fins on the front and

rear coils.

6. Wrap the motor, electrical control box,

and compressor terminal box in plastic

film to make sure no water or other

liquids get inside. Water or other liquids

could damage the insulation and cause

serious mechanical problems.

9. Clean and hose out the base, coils, and

condensate pans. Clean air conditioner

at least once a year or more often if the

condenser coils and pans collect dirt,

sand, leaves, insects, or algae. Also,

clean the air conditioner if you detect an

odor coming from it. Do not use the

collected water for drinking purposes. It

is not sanitary.

14. Plug in the power cord.

NOTE:

It is a good idea to wait 24 hours

before starting the air conditioner again.

Doing so allows time for all areas to

dry thoroughly.

The water from rainfall or from normal

operation does not harm the motor or

electrical parts.

Saving energy

You can help save energy by following the

tips below.

Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all

doors and windows. Close the fireplace flue.

. Close all blinds and drapes on sunny sides

of the house. Add window awnings.

Keep the air filter clean.

Do not block the airflow with drapes

or furniture.

. Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in

the attic add to the air conditioner’s

cooling load.

Try not to use heat-producing appliances

during the hottest part of the day.

. Turn off lights and appliances when they

are not needed.

Keep heat registers and cool-air

returns closed.

Use exhaust venting fans when cooking,

doing laundry, or bathing.
