TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds,
or furniture blocking the front of the air
conditioner.
Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. (See
the Care and Cleaning section.)
After the air conditioner is turned on, allow
time for the room to cool down.
Check for open furnace floor registers and
cold air returns.
See "Air conditioner freezing up" below.
Ice may block the airflow and prevent the
air conditioner from properly cooling the
room. Set the mode control to High Fan or
High Cool.
This is normal when the weather is hot and
humid.
Make sure the air conditioner slants
slightly downward from the front of the
cabinet to the rear. Reposition or shim the
cabinet as necessary. DO NOT drill into
the drain pan.
This is normal. It will occur for short
periods in areas where there is low
humidity and for longer periods in very
humid areas.
