Keep the air filter clean.
keep the Ventilation Control in
the CLOSE position except when
you want to exhaust air, smoke or
odors from the room.
Don' t let the room get too
hot. Whenever possible, turn the
unit on before the room heats up.
When heat is "stored up" in walls,
furniture, rugs and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.
Keep windows and doors
closed. Cool, dry air escapes
when they' re open.
Keep furnace floor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold air
can easily escape through them.
Don't let drapes or furniture block
the top or front of unit and restrict
air flow when it is operating.
It's best to operate your air
conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.
Keep the outdoor condenser
coil clean.
Turn air conditioner ofi. before
vacations or extended absences

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped
loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.
If plugged in, fuse could have blown or
circuit breaker may have tripped.
Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the top or
the front of the air conditioner will restrict air flow.
Thermostat Control may not be set high enough.
Move the knob to a higher number. Highest
setting should provide maximum cooling.
Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least
every 30 days.
Room may have been very hot when air
conditioner was first turned on. Allow time
for it to cool down.
Cold air may be escaping through open
furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
Ventilation Control may be set at OPEN
position, allowing hot outside air to enter
the room.
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, move
the Selector Switch to HI FAN and the
Thermostat Control to a lower number.
Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be
heard when compressor cycles on and off. This
is normal.
Fan runs continuously when Selector
Switch is in COOL or FAN position.
This is normal.
Excess water may overflow in extremely hot
and humid weather. This is normal.
Air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water disposal.
This is normal for a short period in areas with
little humidity; normal for a longer period in
very humid areas. Moisture removed from
indoor air drains to rear of cabinet where it is
picked up by a fan and thrown against the
outdoor condenser coil.
