Read and carefully follow the “INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS” included with your air conditioner.
It is your responsibility to make sure
that your air conditioner:
l Has been properly installed.
l Is the right size for the area you want to cool.
l Has been properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded. (See INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.)
l Is properly used only for the job for which it was
designed.
l Is not used by anyone unable to operate It
properly.
l Is properly maintained.
To remove the Consumer Buy Gurde label and energy
ratrng label lrft one edge and pull straight off.
To remove any remaining glue:
1. Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then
remove.
-or-
2. Soak area with a liqurd hand dishwashrng
detergent before removing glue as described
in step 1.

Do not use rubbing alchol or flammable toxic
solvents, such as acetone, gasoline carbon
tetrachloride, etc. These can damage the
material. Do not use a sharp instrument or any
harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Energy Saving Tips
l Improve home insulation (seal doors, wrndows.
and close fireplace flue).
l Close blrnds or drapes on sunny side of house.
Add wrndow awnrngs.
Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow with
drapes or furnrture.
Ventilate attrc (high temperature levels add to
normal cooling load).
Try not to use heat producing applrances during
the hottest part of the day. Turn lights, radios,
televrsions, and other applrances off when not
needed.
Keep heat registers and cool air returns closed
or blocked off so cooled air won’t escape.
Use a vent fan in areas In cooking, laundry or
bathing areas to pull out extra heat and moisture
near its source.
HOW TO START AND USE
YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
To start Your Air Conditioner
1. Set the FRESH AIR/EXHAUST CONTROL to OFF
for maximum cooling.
2. Set the FAN SPEED CONTROL to the desired
setting.
QUIET COOL. for sleeping comfort
REGULAR COOL .for normal cooling
MAX COOL .for maximum cooling

CONTROL
THERMOSTAT
3. Turn THERMOSTAT CONTROL to the mid (Number
6) setting. You can adjust the air conditioner’s
cooling performance by resetting the thermostat
control to a higher number for maximum cooling.
You will need to experiment to find the setting which
suits you best.
When lowenng the thermostat control setting, the
compressor (motor) may shut off. When the
compressor is turned off with either the fan speed
control or the thermostat control, wait 2-3 minutes
before restarting the air conditioner or turning the
compressor back on.

Using the Energy Saver Control
1. Choose the desired fan setting-either AUTO
FAN or NORM FAN.
AUTO FAN....will save energy when normal
cooling and moisture removal are not
needed. The fan will cycle on and off as the
thermostat turns the compressor on and off.
This saves the cost of electrical energy that
would be used to run the fan continuously.
It is normal for the fan to turn on and off in
the AUTO FAN setting. The amount of time
the unit will be off depends on room
temperature and thermostat setting.
AUTO FAN is not suitable when the weather
is extremely warm or humid or when there are
several people in the room.
NORM FAN....the fan runs all the time even
though the thermostat will turn the compressor
on and off. Use NORM FAN during warm or
humid weather and for rooms that need to be
cooled constantly.
Using the Fresh Air/Exhaust Control
This control setting can be used to draw stale smoky
air from the room, or to draw fresh air from the outside
into the room.
1. To exhaust room air
Set control to EXHAUST. Set FAN SPEED
CONTROL to desired setting. Set the fan con-
trol to FAN ONLY if no cooling is desired.
2. To bring in outside air
Set control to FRESH AIR. Set FAN SPEED
CONTROL to desired setting. Set the fan con-
trol to FAN ONLY if no cooling is desired.
NOTE: Energy efficiency is decreased when
operating in either EXHAUST or FRESH AIR and
cooling at the same time.
Make sure the FRESH AIR/EXHAUST control is
returned to the OFF setting when only cooling
is desired.
3. To circulate room air
Set control to OFF. Set FAN SPEED
to FAN ONLY
CONTROL

Changing Air Direction
The louvers in the grille area at the top of the air
conditioner control the direction of the cooled air.
1. The tabs at the bottom of the grille can be
moved to the right, left or straight ahead. Move the
tabs in the direction in which you want the air to flow.
2. Air flow can also be directed up or down. Move the
tab in the center louver in the desired air flow
direction.
