Starting your air conditioner
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
•If you turn the air conditioner off, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner from
blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
•Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The
inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.
Air Conditioner Use
EN
1. Set the FAN SPEED to the desired setting. When
the air conditioner is operating at LOW, HIGH, or
TURBO (some models), the fan circulates air
continuously.
LOW - for sleeping comfort
HIGH - for normal cooling
TURBO (on some models) - for maximum cooling
FAN ONLY
When the FAN ONLY setting is selected, the fan will
run continuously to move air, but the air will not be
cooled.
Your air conditioner may have one of these fan controls:
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE Control to a mid-setting.
Adjust the air conditioner's performance by turning
theTEMPERATURE Control clockwise ( ) for
maximum cooling. For less cooling, turn the
TEMPERATURE Control counterclockwise ( ).
Experiment and find the setting that suits you best.

The louvers in the top of the front
panel allow you to control the
direction of the cooled air. Roll the
wheel up or down to direct the air
left or right. Use the tabs to move
the whole cartridge to direct air up,
down or straight ahead.
There are many things you can do to help save energy.
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:
Changing air direction
Saving energy
Normal sounds
•Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a
“pinging”or “clicking”sound. The water droplets
help cool the condenser.
•Air movement from the fan.
•Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
•Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
•A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the
modern high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
•Improve your home's insulation. Seal doors and
windows. Close fireplace flue.
•Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your
house. Add awnings.
•Make sure drapes or furniture do not block airflow from
your air conditioner.
•Turn lights and appliances off when they are not
needed.
•Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add
to the air conditioner's cooling load.
•Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
•Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.
•Use exhaust vent fans while cooking, doing laundry, or
bathing.

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean
and care for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer for an annual checkup. Remember…the cost
of this service call is your responsibility.
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is
very important, especially in areas near oceans or
where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a
good grade enamel paint.
NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter,
install a heavy-duty cover over air conditioner cabinet.
For information on ordering a heavy-duty cover, see
“Accesories.”
Air Conditioner Care
EN
Repairing paint damage
Cleaning the front panel
The air filter is removable from either side of the unit for easy
cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other
particles from the air and is important for best cooling
operating efficiency. Check the filter every 2 weeks to see if it
needs cleaning. Do not operate the air conditioner without the
filter in place.
1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect power.
2. Slide air filter out from either side of unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air filter. If air filter is very
dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not
wash air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical
cleaners. Air dry filter completely before replacing to ensure
maximum efficiency.
4. Slide air filter back into either side of unit.
5. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect power.
Cleaning the air filter
Filter may be removed from either side.
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help
ensure steady, top performance throughout the year.
Call your local authorized dealer to schedule an
annual checkup. The expense of an annual inspection
is your responsibility.
