AIR CONDITIONER USE

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.

This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

■If you turn off the air conditioner, 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.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

■When the air conditioner is off, the Room indicator light is lit and the display shows the current room temperature.

■If the room temperature is below 55ºF (13ºC), the display will show 55ºF (13ºC). If the room temperature is above 99ºF (37ºC), the display will show 99ºF (37ºC).
