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 Cool 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.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.
Operation
Turn the Operation knob to the desired operating
mode.
■Power—Turn on air conditioner by turning mode
dial to the desired setting.
■Cool Low ( )—Cools with the fan at low speed.
■Cool High ( )—Cools with the fan at high
speed. Use this setting for maximum cooling.
■Fan Low ( )—The fan runs at low speed without cooling.
■Fan High ( )—The fan runs at high speed without cooling.
■Off—Turns the air conditioner off.
Thermostat
The thermostat will automatically control room
temperature by cycling the compressor on and off.
The fan will continue to run.
■Turn to 6 (coolest) for cooler room temperatures.
■Turn to 1 (cool) for warmer room temperatures.
■A middle setting with the knob turned to 5 is
normal for average conditions.
USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Changing Air Direction
Use tab to adjust air direction
Normal Operating Sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, 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-efciency compressor cycling on and off.
Use the lever on the vent louvers to adjust the air direction left or
right.

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.
Remove the lter by grasping the tab on the lter and pulling it
out of the grille to the side.
Reinstalling the air filter:
Slide the lter back into the grille.
AIR CONDITIONER CARE
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air lter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean lter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the lter
in place. Cooling performance will be effected when the coil
becomes dirty.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent and rinse well.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.

TROUBLESHOOTING

12
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Air conditioner cycles
on and off too much or
does not cool room in
Cooling mode
Air conditioner seems to run too
much. The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efcient components may cause the air conditioner to run
longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will
be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the “blast” of cold
air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but
this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efciency.
Refer to the efciency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in BTU/h)
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ow is restricted. The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location
where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
The temperature control may not be
set correctly. The temperature setting is not set to a cool-enough setting. Adjust the cooling mode and/or thermostat to a cooler setting.
The air lter is dirty. The lter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the lter.
The room may be too warm. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot
room.
The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check
the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air
conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
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. Try not to use heat-producing appliances during
the hottest part of the day.
Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows
and doors.
Cold air is escaping. Check for open furnace registers and cold-air returns.
Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows
and doors.
The cooling coils are frozen. The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are dirty or
obstructed by debris.
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). This reduces the risk
of freezing up or damage to the unit.
The air conditioner is
freezing up Ice blocks the air ow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room. Set Mode dial to high fan or high cool and set Temp dial to 1 or 2. You may have to turn off the air conditioner to allow ice to
thaw before using.
Water is dripping outside Hot and humid weather. This is normal.
Water is dripping inside
the room The air conditioner is not properly leveled. For proper water drainage, make sure the air conditioner is slightly tilted downward toward the outside.
NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base and
condensate pan; doing so will reduce cooling performance.
Water collects in the
base pan Moisture removed from the air is draining into the base pan. This is normal for a short period in areas with low humidity and normal for a longer period in areas with high humidity.
Air conditioner will not operate
Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.

■Pour maximiser l’efcacité de la climatisation et de la
circulation d’air, ne pas obstruer l’entrée d’air ou laisser les
évents se décharger dans le panneau avant.
■Pour réduire le nombre de fois où le compresseur se met en
marche et s’arrête, et pour réduire les risques que l’appareil
gèle ou s’endommage, ne pas obstruer les évents situés à
l’extérieur du climatiseur.
Enlever les fenêtres anti-orage ou les
autres obstacles
Suivre les étapes dans “préparer l’ouverture de la fenêtre”.
Si possible, retirer le châssis de la fenêtre anti-orage ou d’autres
obstacles éventuels.
Si le cadre de la fenêtre anti-orage ou les autres obstacles
NEPEUVENT être enlevés, une cale d’espacement en bois devra
être ajoutée pour faire en sorte que le climatiseur soit incliné
vers l’extérieur. Cette procédure est requise pour permettre à la
condensation et à la pluie de s’écouler à l’extérieur.
À l’aide d’un niveau et d’un ruban à mesurer, évaluer l’épaisseur
de la cale d’espacement en bois nécessaire pour incliner
légèrement la partie extérieure du climatiseur vers le bas. La
cale devrait offrir un minimum de 1⁄2po de hauteur au-dessus de
l’obstruction.
Placer la cale d’espacement en bois sur l’appui de fenêtre.
