Operating Your Air Conditioner

To obtain the best possible results from your air conditioner, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section tells you how to set the controls and how to direct the cooled air.

Starting your air conditioner

Flre Hazard

Do not use an extension cord.

Doing so can result in death, flre, or

electrical shock.

1. Set the Fan Control

to the

desired setting.

LOW COOL

- for sleeping comfort

MEDIUM COOL

- for normal cooling

HIGH COOL

- for fastest cooling

FAN ONLY

- to circulate room air without

cooling it

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.

IMPORTANT:

If you turn the air conditioner

off, or if the compressor turns off when you

lower the Thermostat Control, wait at least ,

3 minutes before turning the air conditioner

back on. If you don’t wait, you may blow a

fuse or trip 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 electrlcal shock.

Changing air direction

The air direction louvers, in the top grille

area of the front panel, control the direction

of the cooled air. Move the tabs in the direc-

tion you want the air to flow (right, left, or

straight ahead).

Caring for Your Air Conditioner

Proper care of your air conditioner helps ensure longer life of the unit and lower operating

costs. Follow these instructions carefully. Call your authorized Whirlpool service dealer for an

annual checkup.

Cleaning the front panel

dryer on filter.

5. Replace filter, elastic band, and

front panel.

6. Plug in power cord.

Performing annual maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual mainte-

nance to 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. The expense of an

annual inspection is the consumer’s

responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances,

you can do the inspection and maintenance

yourself. If you choose to do so, follow

these steps:

NOTE:

Do not lift, push, or pull any white

beaded foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

Disconnect power cord from outlet.

2. Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning

the front panel” on page 7.)

3. Remove the air conditioner from

the window.

before servicing.

Be sure no liquid gets Into the motor,

electrical control box, or compressor

terminals.

fully lift the cabinet off the base.

plastic film to make sure no water or

other liquid gets 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 at least once a

insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect

an odor coming from the air conditioner.

electrical parts.

12. Reinstall the air conditioner in

the window.

14. Plug in the power cord.

NOTE:

It is a good idea to wait 24 hours

before starting the unit again. This allows

time for all areas to dry thoroughly. The

water from rainfall or from normal opera-

tion does not harm the components.

Saving energy

Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all

doors and windows. Close the

fireplace flue.

Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side

of the house. Add window awnings.

Keep the air filter clean.

Do not block the airflow from the air

conditioner with drapes or furniture.

Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in

the attic add to the cooling load.

Try not to use heat-producing appliances

during the hottest part of the day.

Turn lights and appliances off when

not needed.

Keep heat registers and cool-air

returns closed.

Use exhaust venting fans while cooking,

doing laundry, or bathing.
