Normal Sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
■Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
■Air movement from the fan.
■Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
■Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
■A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
AIR CONDITIONER CARE
Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care for your
air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer for an annual checkup. Remember the cost of this service call is your
responsibility.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating ef ficiency. Check the filter every
2weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in
place.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filter If the air filter is .
very dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not
wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical
cleaners. Air dry the filter completely before replacing to
ensure maximum efficiency.
4. Replace the air filter back into the air conditioner, and colse
the front panel.
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Clean the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
Repairing Paint Damage
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very
important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.
Annual Maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure
steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local
authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense
of an annual inspection is your responsibility.
Changing Air Direction

RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and on some
devices, a green light will turn on) to resume operation.
NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.
Air conditioner seems to run too much
■The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total
energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do
not emit the "blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to
from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of
lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency
rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air
conditioner.
■The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled.
Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not
cool
■The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.
Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple
rooms.
■The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
■The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are
dirty or obstructed by debris. See Annual Maintenance.
■There is excessive heat or moisture (open container
cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust
heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
