See Figure 37. Kenmore room air conditioners have an electronic touch control panel located across top front of unit. Functions and operation of each control are explained below.

Touch Panel Controls

To operate touch controls, press control pad until indicator above pad lights (does not apply to OFF or

V I A pads).

OFF--Turns air conditioner off.

SMART SET--Places air conditioner in "smart" cooling

•mode. SMART SET uses computer logic to cool area quickly and quietly. When unit first turns on, fan starts at high speed. As room temperature nears set temperature, fan automatically switches to medium speed, then low speed. When room cools to set temperature, fan continues to run at low speed and compressor cycles on and off to maintain room temperature.

LOW COOL--Fan operates continuously at low speed, except in power saver mode. If unit is in a cooling mode, compressor cycles on and off as required to maintain set temperature. Select this setting for quietest operation.

MED COOL--Fan operates continuously at medium speed, except in power saver mode. If unit is in a cooling mode, compressor cycles on and off as required to maintain set temperature. Select this setting for reduced air circulation and quieter operation.

HIGH COOL--Fan operates continuously at high speed, except in power saver mode. If unit is in a cooling mode, compressor cycles on and off as required to maintain set temperature. Use this setting for maximum air circulation and faster cool-down during initial start up.

POWER SAVER PLUS--Places air conditioner in energy-saving mode. Energy-saving mode works in conjunction with SMART SET mode and low, medium, or high fan speeds. In energy-saving mode, air conditioner maintains room temperature within 1.5 ° F of programmed temperature setting. When POWER SAVER PLUS is selected, fan cycles on and off with compressor, instead of running continuously as in other

modes. During compressor off cycle, fan automatically turns on for about 2 minutes at 5 minute intervals to

sample room air temperature. If room temperature is within 1.5°F of programmed temperature, time between sampling increases to a maximum of 15 minutes.

If room temperature is more than 1,5°F above programmed setting, fan continues to run and compressor cycles on to cool room. When room cools to set temperature, compressor and fan turn off and

time between air sampling cycles decreases to a minimum of 5 minutes.

FAN ONLY--Fan operates continuously at set speed (high, medium, or tow) and compressor remains off.. Use this setting to circulate air without cooling and, with VENT CONTROL in EXHAUST position, to vent room of stale air, odors, smoke, etc. Displays actual room temperature.

VIA --Usedto decrease ("down" arrow) or increase ("up"arrow) set temperature. When used with DELAY

START function, arrow keys adjust delay start or stop time.

DELAY START--Allows programming a delay of up to

24hours before air conditioner starts, or programming air conditioner to automatically stop after up to 24 hours of operation. Automatic start or stop is programmable from 1 hour (minimum) up to 24 hours (maximum), in one hour increments. See Operation Instructions for information on programming air conditioner for delay start or automatic stop.

Vent Control

Vent control lever, located on lower dght corner of front

panel, controls a damper that recirculates or exhausts room air.

With control in CLOSED position, damper is closed and air in area being cooled is recirculated through air conditioner, filtered, cooled, and returned to room. No air is exhausted (vented) outside.

NOTE: For maximum efficiency and cooling, vent control should remain closed any time air conditioner is cooling.

With control in EXHAUST position, damper is open.

When open, room air is exhausted (vented) outside. Usa exhaust position to remove stale or smoky air.

NOTE: To conserve energy, use FAN ONLY position with EXHAUST feature.

Brightness Adjust Feature (some models) Display brightness can be changed using V I A pad.

To decrease brightness, simultaneously press and hold OFF pad with "down" arrow. To increase brightness, press and hold OFF pad with =up" arrow key.
