the fuse or reset the breaker.

When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the
air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload.
• Set the mode control at FAN or HIGH COOL with the
temp control at a warmer setting.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front of the air conditioner.
• Turn the temperature knob clockwise as far as possible.
• Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Operating
Instructions section.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on you need
to allow time for the room to cool down.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and
cold air returns.
• Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position.
• See "Air conditioner freezing up" below.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front of the air conditioner.

Instructions section.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to
allow time for the room to warm up.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and
