AIR CONDITIONER

Operation

FOR COOLING
1. Turn the selector switch to the "LOW COOL" or "HIGH COOL" position.
2. Rotate the thermostat (temperature control) to the position that is the most comfortable to
you. The thermostat will turn the compressor on when the temperature of the air entering the
air conditioner rises a few degrees above the setting you have selected. Then the temperature
of the air entering continues to cycle the compressor on and off in the above mentioned
fashion until the selector switch is turned to another mode of operation.
3. Position the louvers to the desired direction the discharge air is to flow.
NOTE: The fan operation is constant, only the compressor cycles on the thermostat.
OPERATION DURING COOLER NIGHTS
It is important, when the outdoor temperature drops in the evening or during the night to below
75°F that the thermostat (temperature control) be set at a midpoint between "warmer" and
"cooler". If the setting is at "cooler", the evaporator coil may become iced-up and stop cooling.
During the day when the temperatures have risen above 75°F, reset the thermostat switch to the
desired setting.
NOTE: Should icing-up occur, it is necessary to let the cooling (evaporator) coil defrost
before normal cooling operation is resumed. During this time, operate the unit in
the "HIGH FAN" position with the system at maximum air flow. When
increased or full air flow is observed, the cooling coil should be clear of ice.
SHORT CYCLING
When an air conditioner is in operation , its compressor circulates refrigerant under high pressure.
Once off, it will take two to three minutes for this high pressure to equalize.
The air conditioning compressor is unable to start against high pressure. Therefore, once the air
conditioner is turned off, it is important to leave it off for two or three minutes before restarting.
Short cycling the compressor (or starting it before pressures have equalized), will in some
instances, kick the circuit breaker or overload.
FOR AIR CIRCULATION ONLY
1. Turn the selector switch for "LOW FAN" or for maximum air flow, to "HIGH FAN".
2. Position the louvers to the desired direction the discharge air is to flow.
NOTE: When the selector switch is in the "LOW FAN" or "HIGH FAN" position, the blower
motor will operate continuously.
