tripping of the compressor
overload. For this reason, the unit
may not start normal cooling for 3
minutes after it is turned back on.

the power cord plug.

engaged, discontinue use of the air
conditioner and contact a qualified
service technician.

blinds or furniture blocking the
front of the air conditioner.

cool down after turning on the air
