Operating Instructions, CARE & CLEANING
Operating Instructions
(continued)
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.
ADDITIONAL THINGS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 °F, between 62 °F and
86 °F (17 °C and 30 °C).
The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius. To convert from one to the other and back, press and hold the "TEMP"
Up (
) and Down ( ) buttons together for 3 seconds.
There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting
FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the possibility of having to roll through to select
another mode.
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to
the same setting once power is restored.
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
CARE & CLEANING
