cool settings. Higher cool settings will provide lower
room temperature. Rotate the thermostat selector
counter clockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool
settings will provide higher room temperature.
COOL MODE
The desired cool setting is selected by rotating the knob
to the right to the desired position.
HIGH COOL has maximumcooling effect and airflow.
LOW COOL has minimumcooling effect and airflow.
FAN MODE
Rotate the knob to the left to select your choice of fan
speeds for air circulation.
