Using the air or exhaust control

(on some models)

The Air or Exhaust Control determines how air is circulated through the air conditioner. It allows you to circulate room air, Exhaust stale/smoky air, or bring in fresh air.

lTo exhaust stale/smoky air set Air or Exhaust Control to

EXHAUST/OPEN.

lTo bring In fresh air set Air or Exhaust Control to

FRESH AIR.

NOTES:

lFor maximum cooling efficiency, set the Air or Exhaust Control to OFF/CLOSED.

lThe Air or Exhaust Control will only function when the Fan Control is turned to an “on”setting.

Changing’ air direction

The louvers in the top of the front panel allow you to control the direction of the cooled air. Use the tabs to direct the air up, down, right, left, or straight ahead. See Figure 6.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy by reducing your air conditioner’s work load:

. Improve your home’s insulation. Seal doors and win- dows. Close fireplace flue.

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

lCheck air filter often to make sure it is clean. l Do not block airflow with drapes or furniture.

lVentilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add to the cooling load of your air conditioner.

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

lTurn lights and appliances off when they are not needed. l Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.

lUse exhaust/venting fans while cooking, bathing, and doing laundry.
