Operating Instructions
Fan Control
The FAN CONTROL controls operation of indoor fan.
This fan circulates air in area being cooled.
On touch control panels, select desired setting by
pressing appropriate touch pad until red indicator on pad
appears. On rotary control panels, turn selector switch
to desired setting.
The FAN CONTROL settings include:
LOW COOL —Fan operates continuously at low speed
and compressor cycles on and off depending upon room
temperature. When on, compressor cools and
dehumidifies air circulating through air conditioner.
Select this setting for quiet operation.
MEDIUM COOL, NORMAL COOL, or MED COOL
(touch control, rotary control, or alternate rotary control,
respectively)— Fan operates continuously at medium
speed and compressor cycles on and off depending
upon room temperature. When on, compressor cools
and dehumidifies air circulating through air conditioner.
HIGH COOL or EXTRA HIGH (touch control/alternate
rotary control, or rotary control)—Fan operates
continuously at high speed and compressor cycles on
and off depending upon room temperature. When on,
compressor cools and dehumidifies air circulating
through air conditioner. Use this setting for maximum air
circulation and faster cool down during initial start up.
FAN ONLY (rotary control only)—Fan operates
continuously at high speed and compressor remains off.
Use this setting to circulate air without cooling and, with
VENT CONTROL in EXHAUST position, to vent room of
stale air, odors, smoke, etc.
OFF— Turns air conditioner off.
!
CAUTION
To avoid tripping circuit breakers or blowing fuses,
wait two minutes after turning air conditioner off,
before turning unit on again.
NOTE: Unplug air conditioner if it is to be turned off for
an extended period of time.
Temperature Control
The TEMPERATURE CONTROL is used to set and
adjust level of cooling. The higher control is set, the
cooler room or area being cooled becomes.
NOTE TEMPERATURE CONTROL setting does not
affect how quickly a room is cooled, it only
determines how cool a room becomes. Setting
control to its maximum setting will not cool a
room faster.
Control settings of 3 and below are ECONOMY
SETTINGS . Setting control in this range can result in
energy savings by reducing amount of time compressor
operates (because room or area is not being cooled as
much as with higher settings).
Turning control fully counterclockwise to FAN ONLY
position (touch control and alternate rotary control) turns
compressor off, but keeps fan running. Use this setting
to circulate air without cooling and, with VENT
CONTROL in EXHAUST position, to vent room of stale
air, odors, smoke, etc.

WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death from fire or
electric shock, read IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this device.
To start air conditioner for the first time, or after it has
been turned off for an extended period:
1. Ensure all doors and windows in area being cooled
are tightly closed.
2. Check FAN CONTROL on air conditioner control
panel. Control should be in the OFF position.
3. Plug power cord on air conditioner into wall
receptacle.
!
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock, devices covered in this manual are
equipped with an earthing plug. If a non-earthing
wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified
electrician and have the receptacle replaced with a
properly earthed wall receptacle that complies with
all applicable building codes.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, alter the
earthing plug. Air conditioner must be earthed at all
times. Do not remove warning tag from power cord.
NOTE: Unplug air conditioner if it is to be turned off for
an extended period of time.
4. Turn FAN CONTROL to highest cooling position and
TEMPERATURE CONTROL to coldest position (fully
clockwise).
5. Make sure VENT CONTROL is closed. For maximum
efficiency and cooling, vent control should be closed
whenever air conditioner is cooling.
6. When area being cooled reaches desired tempera-
ture, slowly turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL coun-
terclockwise until compressor turns off.
Temperature control will continue to cycle compressor on
and off, maintaining room at desired temperature.
