Using the air or exhaust
control

through the air conditioner. It allows you to circulate room
air, Exhaust stale/smoky air, or bring in fresh air.

Exhaust Control to OFF/CLOSED. This setting allows
continuous cooling.
l
To exhaust stale/smoky air set Air or Exhaust Control to
EXHAUST/OPEN.
l
To bring In fresh air set Air or Exhaust Control to
FRESH AIR.
NOTES:
l
For maximum cooling efficiency, set the Air or Exhaust
Control to OFF/CLOSED.
l
The 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.
l
Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your house.
Add awnings.
l
Check air filter often to make sure it is clean.
l
Do not block airflow with drapes or furniture.
l
Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add to
the cooling load of your air conditioner.
l
Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
l
Turn lights and appliances off when they are not needed.
l
Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.
l
Use exhaust/venting fans while cooking, bathing, and
doing laundry.
