Using the Air Conditioner - Features
Additional Features
The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3 minute delayed
start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possible circuit
breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this
time.
There is a 2 second delay for the compressor to stop
when selecting FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the
possibility of having to roll through to select another
mode.
Air Direction
Air directional louvers control air flow direction.
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow up or down
and left or right throughout the room as needed until the
49-5000712 Rev. 1
The control will maintain the set temperature within 1°F
between 62°F and 86°F in cool or heat mode (on some
models).
After a power outage, the unit will remember last setting
and return the unit to that setting when power is restore.
