Air conditioner seems to run too much
The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air condi-
tioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy
consumption will be tess, Newer air conditioners do not emit
the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to from older
air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling
capacity or efficiency, Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and
capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner,
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat=
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heatpro-
ducing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher
capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the
size of the room being cooled.
Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not
cool room in cooling mode
The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.
Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cook=
ing, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or
moisture from the room. Try not to use heatproducing appli-
ances during the hottest part of the day.
The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furni-
ture, etc.
The outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). Do not try to
operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the
outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is
extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool
off a very hot room.
Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all win-
dows and doors.
The Temperature control is not at a cool enough setting.
Adjust the TEMP/TIME control to a cooler setting by
pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the
Fan Speed control to the highest setting.

The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air conditioner
should slope slightly downward toward the outside. Level the
air conditioner to provide a downward slope toward the
outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation
Instructions.
NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base
and condensate pan.
