Energ-Saving
Tips
● Keep the air filter clean.
(See Care and Cleaning section.)
● For most efficient operation,
keep vent in closed position.
● Don’ t
let
the room get too hot or
too cold. Whenever possible, turn
the unit on before the room heats
up or cools off. If you don’t, the air
conditioner will take longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.
● Keep windows and doors
closed. Conditioned air escapes
when they’re open.
● Keep furnace floor registers and
cold air returns closed when
cooling is desired. Conditioned air
can easily escape through them.
●
Don’t let drapes or furniture block
the front of the air conditioner. This
will restrict air
flow
when the unit
is operating.
● It’s best to operate your air
conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot or cold weather.
● Keep outdoor condenser coil
clean. (See Care and Cleaning
section.)
●
Turn air conditioner off during
vacations or extended absences.

AIR CONDITIONER
“DOES NOT COOL

OPERATION
OPERATING SOUNDS
OUTDOOR WATER
DRIPPING DURING
HEATING OPERATION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
● Power cord not plugged in, fuse
blown,
or
circuit breaker tripped.
● Unit is waiting for compressor overload
protector to reset.
● Curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front
of the air conditioner will restrict air flow.
● Thermostat Control may not be set high
enough. Turn the control to a lower or higher
number. (Note: In some installations, the
Thermostat Control cannot be turned all the
way to “1“ or “10.” This is normal. Do not
attempt to force the control beyond its stopping
points.)
● Dirty air filter blocking air flow. Filter
should be cleaned at
least
every 30 days. See
instructions in cleaning section.
● Room may have been very hot or very cold
when the air conditioner was first turned on.
Allow time for it to cool down or warm up.
●
Ventilation control may be set at OPEN
position, allowing outside air to enter the room.
●
Dust on the surface of the heating
element can cause “a burning” odor
at the beginning of the heating operation.
This odor should quickly fade.
● Relay clicks may be heard when the
compressor or fan cycles on and off. This is
normal.
● Fan runs continuously when the unit
is operating unless the Fan Cycle Switch
behind the room cabinet is set at CYCLE.
Then the fan cycles on and off with the heater.
● Water dripping from the outside of the
heat pump is normal during heating operation.
Drain kits are available. Water can be routed
through a drain system to eliminate the
problem.
