TROUBLESHOOTING
Service To save time and expense, check the following before calling an authorized service station.
Insufficient Cooling
•Shut all windows and doors in room.
•Remove any obstructions from inside and outside louvers.
•Close Air Exchanger.
•Inspect filter and clean if dirty.
•Under certain conditions the cooling coils directly behind the filter, may ice up and block the airflow. This is a common occurrence in air conditioners caused when the outside temperature drops below 70°F (21°C) while the humidity remains high. If this happens, simply turn the unit off and allow the ice to melt, then resume normal operation.
For Models Installed in North America - If Service or Parts are Required First, make the recommended checks. If it appears that
service or parts are still required, see your room air conditioner warranty “How to Obtain Warranty Service or Parts”.
For Models Installed Outside North America For room air conditioners purchased for use outside North America, the manufacturer does not extend any warranty either expressed or implied. Consult your local dealer for any warranty terms extended by the importer in your country.
Proper use and care of your air conditioner will help ensure longer life of the unit. It is recommended to annually inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages. Expense of annual inspection is the consumer’s responsibility.
