What To Do
• Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely
into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.
• The unit will automatically re-start in the settings last
used after the power is restored.
• There is a protective time delay (approximately
3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload. For this reason, the unit may not start
normal cooling or heating for 3 minutes after it
is turned back on.
• Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug.
• If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service
technician.
• 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.
• Turn the knob counterclockwise as far as possible.
The lowest setting provides maximum warming.
• 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 warm up.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and
cold air returns.
