ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
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,
• There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having
to roll through to select another mode,
. The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees,
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
Figure 1 (VENT CLOSED)
Fresh Air Vent Control (on some models)
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:
1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (see Fig. 1)
2. Draw fresh air into the room - Fresh Air (see Fig. 2)
3. Exchange air from the room - Vent Open (see Fig. 3)

AUGER WHEELS
(8-WAY)
Air Directional Louvers
Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver
type described below.
Auger Type
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right
throughout the room as needed. Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired
Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired
Up/Down direction is obtained,
Care and Cleaning
Tab
Air Filter
Remark: The appearance of actual air filter
may be slightly different from the line drawing
shown in the figure. The line drawing is for
reference only.
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
The air filter should be checked 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,
• Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position(where applicable).
. Open the front panel,
• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• 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.
NOTE: When replacing the air filter after cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air
filter are on the upper part of filter, and placed outward as shown in the drawing
on the left side.
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.
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,
