HOW AND WHY
Your roomair conditionerprovidesthe following
functionsto make hot weather livingmore
comfortable:
•Cools and circulatesroom air.
•Lowers humidityby removing excess moisture.
•Filtersout summer'0medust, dirt, and some
airbome impurities.
The air conditioner performsthese functions by
drawing roomair through a filter whichtraps dust
and dirtparticles. The air then passes over a
coolingceil which refrigeratesthe air and removes
excess moisture. The same air isthen retumed to
the room- cooler, drier, and cleaner. Moisture
removed from the room air iscarried tothe outside
and evaporated.
Your air condi_oner isdesigned to be easy to
operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.
NORMAL SOUNDS FIG.12
Aside fromthe regular fan motor and compressor
soundscoming from your air conditioner,you will
once in a while hear a pingingsound. This is the
result ofmoisture being picked up from the air in the
room and thrown against the air conditioner's fan.
This isnormal and should not be cause forconcom.
Also, do not be alarmed if you hear a slighthissing
or gurglingsound coming from your air conditioner
after itis off. These are normal coolantnoises.
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unitsize is importantin decidingthe desired
comfortforthe area youwant to cool.The proper
size isdetermined by the number of square feat
in the area to be cooled, indoorand outdoor
temperature and humidity.
Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal
the air conditioner must run longer and more often
tokeep the desired temperature you have selected,
Under heavy heat load conditionsthe air conditioner
may need to run constantlyto keep the temperature
you want.
At times usingthe MED FAN settingto circulatethe
room air may make it comfortable even though the
air is not being cooled. This will decrease your cost
ofuse.
iompressor
The modem high efficiency
compressormay have a high
pitchedhum or pulsating
noisethat cycleson and off.
-- Unit Vibration
The unitmay vibrate
and make noise
because of poorwall
You may hear dropletsof water hitting
the condenser causing a pingingor
clickingsound.
Fan
You may hear air
movement from
the fan.
