Vent Control - Some Models
A slight heat odor may come from the unit when first switching to HEAT after
the cooling season is over This odor, caused by fine dust particles on the
heater, wilt disappear quickly
Vent Control

be used for air recirculation without cooling when the air conditioner is set
in the FAN position,

found in homes
. The OPEN or CLOSED position can be used with any fan selection.
o For compact models, push the slide in to CLOSE, pull out to OPEN,
