For Nighttime Opemtion
During the cooler eveninghours,
it isrecommended that yousetthe
SelectorSwitch at LOWCOOL
for very quiet operationand the
Thermostat Controlat mid-range
(5 or 6).
When the Thermostat Controlis set
on 9or 10and the Fan is set on low
speed, moisture mayfreeze on the
coilsandprevent the unit from
cooling. If thishappens, setthe
Fan at high speed and setthe
Thermostat Control to alower
