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

Fire Hazard

Do not use an extension cord.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

1. Set Exhaust Control to CLOSED for

maximum cooling performance. (See

“Using the exhaust vent control” on

page 6.1

2. Set the Fan Control to the desired

setting. You can use either the Energy

Saver or Normal Fan settings. (See

“Using the energy saver settings” on

paw 6.1

LOW - for sleeping comfort

MED - for normal cooling

QUICK COMFORT - for fastest cooling

FAN ONLY-to circulate room air without

cooling it

3. 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 electrical 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

direction you want the air to flow (right, left,

or straight ahead). A tab in the center of the

louver area (on some models) adjusts the

airflow up or down.

CaringfbrYourAir 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 servicing dealer for

an annual checkup.

Cleaning the slide-out air filter

The filter is cleanable. A clean filter helps

remove dust, lint, and other particles from

the air. Check every two weeks to see if filter

needs cleaning.

1. Remove filter by sliding it up and out the

top of the front panel.

2. Clean filter using a vacuum cleaner.

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 ensure steady, top performance

throughout the year. Call the service com-

pany recommended by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate

water passages.

l 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:

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug power cord from outlet

before servicing.

Be sure no liquid gets into the motor,

electrical control box, or compressor

terminals.

NOTE: Do not lift, push, or pull any white

beaded foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

1. Disconnect power cord from outlet.

2. Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, electrical shock,

or serious injury.

the front panel” on page 7.)

3. Remove unit from the window.

install air conditioner.

other injury.

Remove side curtains. Slide curtains out

to their fullest width. From the back side,

remove the Phillips-head screws (A)

holding the curtains to the cabinet.

Remove the slotted hex-head screws (B)

holding the top channel.

Remove the slotted hex-head screws (C)

on the sides of the cabinet.

Holding both sides of the cabinet, care-

fully lift the cabinet off the base. Watch

out for the sharp metal fins on the front

and rear coils.

Wrap the motor, electrical control box,

and the compressor terminal box in

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.

Clean and hose out the base, coils, and

condensate pans. Clean at least once a

year, or more often if the condenser

coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves,

insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect

an odor coming from the air conditioner.

Do not use the collected water for drinking

purposes. It is not sanitary.

Remove plastic film from motor and

electrical parts.

Replace unit in the cabinet. Reattach top

channel and side curtains. Tighten all

screws.

Reinstall unit in the window.

Replace the front panel.

Plug in the power cord.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours

before starting the unit again. This allows

time !or all areas to dry thoroughly. The

water from rainfall or from normal opera-

tion does not harm the components. 9

._.*_.-..~.

Saving energy

l Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all

doors and windows. Close the

fireplace flue.

l Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side

of the house. Add window awnings.

l Keep the air filter clean.

l Do not block the airflow from the air

conditioner with drapes or furniture.

l Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in

the attic add to the cooling load.

l Try not to use heat-producing appliances

during the hottest part of the day.

l Turn lights and appliances off when

not needed.

l Keep heat registers and cool-air

returns closed.

l Use exhaust venting fans while cooking,

doing laundry, or bathing.
