may have a high pitched chatter  
during the cooling cycle.  
Vibration

At the front of the unit, you may  
hear the sound of rushing air  
being moved by the fan.  
Pinging or Swishing  
Droplets of water hitting condenser  
during normal operation may cause  
“pinging or swishing” sounds.

Operating Instructions  
To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:  
Using Air Conditioner  
Operating Instructions  
Set the temperature selector to the highest number (coldest or coolest setting).  
Set the mode control to the highest COOL setting.  
Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).  
Once the room has cooled, adjust the temperature selector to the setting you  
find most comfortable.  
Review the “Operating Instructions” section for other settings.  
The controls featured in this manual are representative of many available  
models. Your model may offer slightly different features.  
Temperature Selector  
This is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being  
operated in the “COOL MODE.  
To set the desired room temperature, rotate the selector switch to the desired  
setting. After the set temperature is achieved, the thermostat will automatically  
start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature.  
Rotate the temperature selector clockwise for higher cool setting. Higher cool  
settings will provide lower room temperature.  
Rotate the temperature selector counter-clockwise for lower cool settings.  
Lower cool settings will provide higher room temperature.  
Cool Mode  
The desired cool setting is selected by rotating the MODE knob to the appropriate location.  
“High Cool” has maximum cooling effect and airflow.  
” between “High Cool” and “Low Cool” has the intermediate cooling effect and airflow.  
“Low Cool” has minimum cooling effect and airflow.  
Note:If your unit is equipped with a vent handle, keep it closed for maximum efficiency.  
Fan Mode  
Rotate the MODE knob to the left to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation.  
Note: When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run. On models with a vent  
control, this mode can be used to remove stale air from the room, or to draw fresh air  
into the room. Check the section ‘Additional Things You Should Know.  
WARNING  
Please always wait 3 minutes when turning unit off then on again, and when changing from cool to fan and back to  
cool. This prevents compressor from overheating & possible circuit breaker tripping.  
Failure to follow these instructions may be harmful to your unit.

Operating Instructions  
Operating Instructions  
(continued)  
Air Directional Louvers  
Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver  
type described below.  
(8-WAY)  
AUGER WHEELS  
Auger Type  
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right  
throughout the room as needed. Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired  
Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired  
Up/Down direction is obtained.  
ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW  
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features that you should become familiar with.  
Fresh Air Vent Control (on some models)  
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:  
1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (see Fig. 1)  
2. Draw fresh air into the room - Fresh Air (see Fig. 2)  
3. Exchange air from the room - Vent Open (see Fig. 3)

Care and Cleaning & Energy Saving Ideas  
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug  
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.  
Care and Cleaning  
Air Filter Cleaning  
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is  
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation  
of frost on the cooling coils.  
Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position(where applicable).  
Open the front panel.  
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.  
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter  
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is  
thoroughly dry before replacing  
Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.  
Cabinet Cleaning  
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The  
cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth  
dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent.  
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.  
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.  
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls.  
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.  
Plug in air conditioner.  
Winter Storage  
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from  
the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return  
it to the original carton.  
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with  
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.  
Energy Saving Ideas  
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and  
satisfactory operation.  
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces  
north is best because it is shaded most of the day.  
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up  
the chimney and into the duct work.  
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.  
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.  
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out  
and cool air in.  
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air  
conditioner’s work load.  
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers  
during the coolest part of the day.
