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
Fire Hazard
Do not use an extension cord.
Doing so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
1. Set the System Control to the
desired setting.
LO COOL - for sleeping comfort
Hi COOL - for maximum cooling
FAN ONLY -to circulate room air
without cooling it
2. Turn the Thermostat Control to number
6 (mid setting). You can adjust the air
conditioner’s cooling performance by
setting the Thermostat Control to a higher
number for more cooling or to a lower
number for less cooling. Experiment to
find the setting(s) that suits you best.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the air condi-
tioner off, or if the compressor turns off
when you lower the Thermostat Control,
wait at least three 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
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or electrical shock.
5

Changing air direction
Locate the tab at the top left corn
grille and move the tab in the direction you
want the air to flow (right, left, or straight
ahead).

Performing annual maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual mainte-
nance to ensure steady, top performance
throughout the year. Call the service com-
pany recommended by your dealer to:
l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate
water passages.
l Check fan.
The compressor and fan motor are sealed
and need no oiling. The expense of an
annual inspection is the consumer’s
responsibility.
OR
If you are familiar with electrical appliances,
you can do the inspection and maintenance
yourself. If you choose to do so, follow
these steps:
1. Set System Control to OFF and discon-
nect air conditioner from power supply.
2. Remove air conditioner from window.
3. Press down on the top edge of the front
panel until it releases from the cabinet.
Pull front panel toward you. Lift up and
away from bottom spring clips.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug power cord from outlet
before servicing.
Be sure no liquid gets into the
motor, electrical control box, or
compressor terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, electrical shock,
or serious injury.
Excessive Weight Hazard

install air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.

4. Slide curtains out to their fullest width.
From the back side, remove the Phillips-
head screws (A) holding the curtains to
the cabinet.
5. Remove the slotted hex-head screws
(B) holding the top channel.
6. Remove the slotted hex-head screws
(C) on the sides of the cabinet.
7. Holding both sides of the cabinet,
carefully lift the cabinet off the base.
Watch out for the sharp metal fins on
the front and rear coils.
8. Wrap the motor, electrical control box,
and the compressor terminal box in
plastic film to make sure no water or
other liquid gets inside. Water or other
liquids could damage the insulation and
cause serious mechanical problems.
9. Clean and hose out the base, coils, and
condensate pans. Clean at leas? once a
year, or more often if the condenser
coils and pans collect dir?, sand, leaves,
insects, or algae. Also, clean if you
detect an odor coming from the air con-
ditioner. Do not use the water collected
in the air conditioner for drinking pur-
poses. It is not sanitary.
10. Remove plastic film from motor and
electrical parts.
11. Replace unit in the cabinet. Reattach
top channel and side curtains.
12. Reinstall unit in the window.
13. Replace the front panel.
14. Plug in the power cord.
NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours
before starting the unit again. This allows
time for all areas to dry thoroughly. The
water from rainfall or from normal operation
does not harm the components.
Saving energy
l Improve your home’s insulation. Seal
all doors and windows. Close the
fireplace flue.
l Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side
of the house. Add window awnings.
l Keep the air filter clean.
l Do not block the airflow from the air
conditioner with drapes or furniture.
l Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in
the attic add to the cooling load.
l Try not to use heat-producing appliances
during the hottest par? of the day.
l Turn lights and appliances off when
not needed.
l Keep heat registers and cool-air
returns closed.
l Use exhaust venting fans while cooking,
doing laundry, or bathing.

Normal operating sounds
When your air conditioner operates nor-
mally, you will hear sounds such as:

the condenser. Water droplets help cool
the condenser.

HI COOL setting.
l Clicks from the cooling cycle.
Sounds may also be caused by house
construction - such as vibration of the unit
due to wall construction or an unsteady
window mounting area.
