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 restart 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 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.
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the
front of the air conditioner.
In the COOL mode, press temperature decrease
Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the CARE AND
CLEAN section
When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow
time for the room to cool down.
Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.
See "Air conditioner freezing up" below.

CARE AND CLEANING
GRILLE AND CASE
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach
or abrasives.
OUTDOOR COILS
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be
checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they
may be professionally cleaned.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE AIR CONDITIONER
WITHOUT A FILTER BECAUSE DIRT AND LINT WILL CLOG
IT AND REDUCE PERFORMANCE.
WHAT TO DO
Set the controls at HIGH FAN or HIGH COOL and set the
thermostat to a higher temperature.
This is normal
For proper water disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants
slightly away from the case front to the rear.
This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity;
normal for a longer period in very humid areas.
AIR FILTER
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and
cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
To remove, pull the tab on the right side of the unit until the
filter is out.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter
dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher.
