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 offto 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 FLOWAROUND 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.
