Saving
Along with using Power Saver (on some models), there are many
things you can do to help save energy.
• 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 off lights and appliances 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-preducing 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.
Normal Sounds
When yourairconditionerisoperatingnormally,you may hear
sounds such as:
• 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.

UBLESHOOTING
You can solve many common air conditioner problems easily,
saving you the cost of a service call. Trythe suggestions below to
see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.
Air conditioner will not operate.
=The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into agrounded
3 prong outlet. See "Electrical Requirements."
A household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has
tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Plug
into a grounded 3 prong outlet. See "Electrical
Requirements."
Depending on model, the Power button has not been
pressed or the Fan Speed control is turned to Off. Press
POWER button or turn the FAN SPEED control to an active
setting,
•The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.
Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers.
Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.
Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity
is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker of the correct capacity. See "Electrical
Requirements."
An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension
cord with this or any other appliance.
You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after
turning the unit off. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning the
unit off before trying to restart the air conditioner.
Air conditioner seems to run too much.
•The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total
energy consumption wil! be less. Newer air conditioners do
not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to
from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling
capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and
capacity rating (in BTUs/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.
•The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled.
Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not
cool.
• The MODE is set to POWER SAVER (on some models).
Use Power Saver only when you are away from home or
asleep, since the fan does not circulate the room air
continuously. Use LOW, HIGH or TURBO for your best
comfort.
SThe air conditioner is not preperly sized for your room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.
Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple
rooms.
The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are
dirty or obstructed by debris. See "Performing Annual
Maintenance."
There is excessive heat or moisture (open container
cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust
heat or moisture from the room. Trynot to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day,
The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
•The outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). Do not try to
operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the
outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
• The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is
extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool
off a very hot room.
•Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all
windows and doom.
•The Exhaust control is set to OPEN (on some models).
Push the Exhaust control CLOSED for maximum cooling.
Depending on model, the Temp/Time or Temperature
control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the TEMP/
TIME control to acooler setting by pressing the minus button
to reduce the temperature or adjust the TEMPERATURE
control to a cooler setting by turning the knob clookwise. Set
the FAN SPEED control to highest setting (TURBO or HIGH,
depending on mode/),
• The air conditioner is installed on the sunny side of your
house. Install your air conditioner in a more shaded window.
Water drips from cabinet into your house.
The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air
conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the
outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward
slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the
Installation Instructions. Reposition or shim the cabinet as"
necessary.
NOTE: Do not drilla hole in the bottom of the metal base and
condensate pan.
