HOW AND WHY
Your room air conditioner providesthe following
functionsto make hot weather living more
comfortable:
• Cools and circulatesroom air.
• Lowers humidityby removing excess moisture.
• Filters out summer'0me dust, dirt, and some
airbome impurities.
The air conditioner performs these functions by
drawing room air through a filter which traps dust
and dirt particles. The air then passes over a
cooling ceil which refrigerates the air and removes
excess moisture. The same air is then retumed to
the room- cooler, drier, and cleaner. Moisture
removed from the room air is carried to the outside
and evaporated.
Your air condi_oner is designed to be easy to
operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.
NORMAL SOUNDS FIG.12
Aside from the regular fan motor and compressor
sounds coming from your air conditioner,you will
once in a while hear a pinging sound. This is the
result of moisture being picked up from the air in the
room and thrown against the air conditioner's fan.
This is normal and should not be cause for concom.
Also, do not be alarmed if you hear a slighthissing
or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner
after it is off. These are normal coolant noises.
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unitsize is important in deciding the desired
comfort for the area youwant to cool. The proper
size is determined by the number of square feat
in the area to be cooled, indoor and outdoor
temperature and humidity.
Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal
the air conditioner must run longer and more often
to keep the desired temperature you have selected,
Under heavy heat load conditionsthe air conditioner
may need to run constantlyto keep the temperature
you want.
At times usingthe MED FAN settingto circulate the
room air may make it comfortable even though the
air is not being cooled. This will decrease your cost
of use.
