Operating Your Air Conditioner
To obtain the best possible results from your air conditioner, it is important that you operate it
properly. This section tells you how to set the controls and how to direct the cooled air.
Starting your air conditioner
1. Set Exhaust Control to CLOSED for
maximum cooling performance. (See
“Using the exhaust vent control” on
page 6.1
2. Set the Selector Control to the desired
setting.
COOL - for cooling the room air
HEAT - for heating the room air
FAN ONLY -for circulating room air
without cooling or heating it
3. Set the Fan Control to the desired
setting. You can use either the ENERGY
SAVER or NORMAL FAN settings. (See
“Using the energy saver settings” below.)
LOW - for sleeping comfort
MED - for normal cooling
QUICK COMFORT - for fastest cooling
4. Turn the Thermostat Control to a
mid-setting. You can adjust the air
conditioner’s cooling performance by
turning the Thermostat Control toward
COOLER for more cooling or toward
WARMER for less cooling. You will need
to experiment to find the setting which
suits you best.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the air conditioner
off, or if the compressor turns off when you
lower the Thermostat Control, wait at least
3 minutes before turning the air conditioner
back on. If you don’t wait, you may blow a
fuse or trip a circuit breaker.
Electrical Shock Hazard
l Plug unit only into grounded electrical
outlet.
l Do not use an extension cord.
l Do not operate unit with the front
panel removed.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in electrical shock or
