ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should
know.
?
The "Cool "circuit has an automatic3 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.
?
?
The control will maintain any set temperature within 2ºF, between 60ºF and 90ºF degrees.
The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other,
press and hold the Up and Down Temperature Selection Pads at the same time for 3 seconds.
Fresh Air Vent Control
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:
1. Recalculate inside air-Vent Closed (see fig. 1)
2. Draw fresh air into the room-Vent Open (see Fig. 2)
3. Exchange air from the room and draws fresh air into the room-Vent
and Exhaust open (see Fig. 3)

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
It is recommended to check the filter 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.
?
?
?
Tilt the panel out by grasping the panel from both sides,just below the
controls and the air directional louvers,and gently pull to release.Pivot
the panel on its hinges and remove the filter.
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.
NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged,
store air conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.
Energy Saving Ideas
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.
