Operating Your Air Conditioner

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results. This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

If you turn the air conditioner off, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up and the air conditioner will not operate properly.

Starting your air conditioner

FAN CONTROL

Set the FAN CONTROL to the desired setting. When the air conditioner is operating at LOW COOL, MED COOL (some models) or TURBO COOL, the fan circulates air continuously.

LOW COOL – for sleeping comfort

MED COOL (some models) – for normal cooling

TURBO COOL – for maximum cooling

FAN ONLY

When the FAN ONLY setting is selected, the fan will run continuously to move air, but the air will not be cooled.

THERMOSTAT

Turn the THERMOSTAT Control to a mid-setting. Adjust the air conditioner's performance by turning the THERMOSTAT Control clockwise ( ) for maximum cooling. For less cooling, turn the THERMOSTAT Control counterclockwise ( ). Experiment and find the setting that suits you best.

Saving energy

There are many things you can do to help save energy.

Improve your home's insulation. Seal doors and windows. Close fireplace flue.

Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your house. Add awnings.

Make sure drapes or furniture do not block airflow from your air conditioner.

Turn lights and appliances off when they are not needed.

Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add to the air conditioner's cooling load.

Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.

Use exhaust vent fans while cooking, doing laundry, or bathing.

Normal operating sounds
