AIR CONDITIONER USE
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
■If you turn off the air conditioner, 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 66°F (19°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not
operate properly.
NOTES:
■In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will not
automatically turn back on.
■If the electronic control will not respond to touch pad or
remote control commands, it is necessary to unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet for 5 seconds before plugging
back in.
