POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
●
Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.
●
If plugged in, fuse could have blown or circuit breaker may have tripped.
●
Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the top or the front of the air conditioner will
restrict air flow.
●
Temperature Control may not be set high enough. Turn knob to a higher number.
Highest setting should provide maximum cooling.
●
Air
filter
dirty, should be cleaned at least every 30 days. See instructions, page 5.
. Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on. Allow time
for it to cool down.
●
Cold air maybe escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold
airretums.
●
Vent Control maybe set at open position, allowing hot outside air to enter the room.
●
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Fan at high speed and the Temperatu~
Control to a lower number.
●
Thermostat click, a metallic sound, maybe heard when the compressor cycles
on
and
off. This is normal.
●
Fan runs continuously when Selector is in Cool or Fan position. This is normal.
●
Excess water may overflow in excessively hot and humid weather. This is normal.
●
Air conditioner must be installed
level
or tilted slightly to the outside for proper
water disposal.
●
This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer
period in very humid areas. Moisture removed from indoor air drains to rear of cabinet
where it is picked up by a fan and thrown against the outdoor condenser coil.
