VI. General Operating Instructions

The operation and control of all units are very similar; however,
they do vary slightly from model to model. Section VII shows
the control panel of the unit you have purchased and gives
detailed information on the operation of the controls.
INITIAL START UP/COOLING
Select the highest fan speed and set temperature control to
its coldest position. When the desired temperature is
reached, slowly move the temperature control toward a
warmer setting until the compressor shuts off. The thermo-
stat will then cycle the compressor on and off to maintain this
selected temperature. Adjust the fan speed for desired air
circulation.
CHANGING AIR FLOW DIRECTION BAFFLES
All units are equipped with airflow baffles that allow you to
divert the air from a center flow to the left or right. The units
also have tilting louvers that provide upward and downward air
discharge. Adjust baffles and tilting louvers for desired air flow
pattern.
AIR FLOW AROUND THE UNIT
Check the indoor grille and outdoor louvers for obstructions to
airflow. Do not block the airflow to and from the unit. If air is
obstructed and/or deflected back into the unit, the air
conditioner’s compressor may cycle on and off rapidly. This
could damage your unit.

Fan Control
OFF – Completely shuts off the unit. To prevent blowing
fuses, wait three minutes after turning the unit off before
turning it on again.
LOW FAN – Select this setting for circulating or exhausting
room air without cooling.
LOW COOL – Filters and circulates room air with the fan
running continuously on low speed. Also cools and dehu-
midifies while the compressor is running. Select this setting
for quiet cooling operation.
MEDIUM COOL – Filters and circulates room air with the fan
running continuously on medium speed. Also cools and
dehumidifies while the compressor is running.
HIGH COOL – Filters and circulates room air with the fan
running continuously on high speed. Also cools and dehu-
midifies while the compressor is running. Select this setting
for maximum air circulation and cooling effect.
HIGH FAN – Select this setting for circulating or exhausting
room air without cooling.
Temperature Control
Turn this control to the left for a warmer room temperature, to
the right for a cooler room temperature.
Vent Control- (Not available on all models)
Choose one of the following two settings by sliding the vent
control under the appropriate marking:
OPEN – Exhausts room air to the outdoors. Also circulates
and filters room air. This position can be used to exhaust
stale or smoky air.
CLOSED – Exhaust damper is closed. Unit circulates and
filters room air. This position should be used for normal
cooling operation.
