AIR CONDITIONER USE

IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner has been tilted on its side,
wait 24 hours before turning on the air conditioner to allow
the oil to return to the compressor. This will prevent the air
conditioner from failing prematurely.
•
Allow 20" (51 cm) of space around the unit for proper air
circulation.
•
Do Not operate the air conditioner without air filters in
place.
•
Do not spill liquid on the control panel; it may cause an
electrical short to the interior electronic parts that would
either disable them or cause them to function improperly.
•
When turning on the air conditioner for the first time
after plugging it into an electrical outlet, the unit will
start in Cooling mode set at 75ºF (24°C), and at High fan
speed. The control panel will display the current room
temperature.
