for cooling. Use the Temp INCREASE ▲ /DECREASE ▼ pads to set the desired temperature between 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.

NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it will take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling—Select the COOL mode and HIGH or MID fan with a middle set temperature.

For Maximum Cooling—Select the COOL mode and HIGH fan with a lower set temperature.

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the COOL mode and LOW fan with a middle set temperature.

NOTE: If you switch from a COOL setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a COOL setting.
