Controls
Temperature Control
Use the temperature control to set and adjust temperature
of room or area being conditioned. Turn control clockwise
to lower temperature of conditioned space; turn control
counterclockwise to raise temperature of conditioned
space.
NOTE: Position of temperature control does not affect
how quickly cooling or warming occurs. For faster
cooling or warming, set fan control to higher
speed.
Operating Instructions
Before Turning Air Conditioner On
To operate air conditioner efficiently and ensure it provides
maximum comfort:
• Tightly close all doors and windows in area being
conditioned (cooled or heated).
• Make sure nothing obstructs airflow to or from air
conditioner (do not place plants, furniture, lamps, etc.,
in front of the return air vent or air discharge vent).
• Make sure outdoor louvers are free of obstructions and
fins on evaporator and condenser coils are free of dirt
and debris.
• Make sure air filter is clean.
NOTE: Air filter should be cleaned at least once a week
during continuous operation. More frequent cleaning
may be required in dusty environments. NEVER operate
air conditioner with air filter removed.
• Make sure power cord on air conditioner is plugged into
an appropriate receptacle. See Electrical Requirements
section of manual.

WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock, DO NOT, under any circumstances,
alter grounding plug. Air conditioner must be
grounded at all times. If a two-prong (non-grounding)
wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified
electrician and have the receptacle replaced with a
properly grounded wall receptacle, in accordance with
the National Electrical Code.
When fan control is set for cooling or heating, the
temperature control sensor (mounted behind return air
vent) monitors room air temperature. When sensor
detects cooling or heating is required, temperature
control turns on compressor or electric heater, depending
upon operating mode of air conditioner.
Initial Start Up
To start air conditioner for the first time or after it has been
turned off for an extended period:
1. Tightly close all doors and windows in area.
2. Check fan control on air conditioner control panel.
Control should be in OFF position.
3. Plug air conditioner power cord into wall receptacle.
4. Make sure vent control is in NORMAL position. For
maximum efficiency, vent control should be in
NORMAL position whenever air conditioner is cooling
or heating.
5. If cooling is desired, place fan control in HIGH
COOL position and temperature control to coldest
(fully clockwise) setting.
If heating is desired, place fan control in HIGH
HEAT position and temperature control to warmest
(fully counterclockwise) setting.
6. When area reaches desired temperature:
• If cooling, slowly turn temperature control
counterclockwise until compressor turns off.
• If heating, slowly turn temperature control clockwise
until temperature control "clicks."
Temperature control maintains area at desired
temperature by cycling compressor (or electric heater) on
and off.
NOTE: For quieter operation, reduce fan speed after
setting temperature control at desired
temperature.
!
Do not use condensate (water that accumulates in air
conditioner base pan) for drinking or cooking. It is not
sanitary.
