HOW ÄND WHY
Your room air conditioner provides the foliowing
functions to make hot weather living more
cornfortable:
» Cools and circulates room air.,
• Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture,
• Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some
airborne impurities.
The air conditioner performs these functions by
drawing room air through a filter which traps dust

cooling coil which refrigerates the air and removes
excess moisture. The same air is then returned to
the room- cooler, drier, and cleaner, Moisture
removed from the room air is carried to the outside
and evaporated..
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to
operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.
NORIVIÄL SOUNDS
fig . 23
Aside from the regular fan motor and compressor
sounds coming from your air conditioner, you will
once in a while hear a pinging sound. This is the
result of moisture being picked up from the air in the
room and thrown against the air conditioner’s fan.
This is normal and should not be cause for concern.
Also, do not be aiarmed if you hear a slight hissing
or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner
after it is off. These are normal coolant noises.
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired
comfort for the area you want to cool. An
undersized unit wili not have the capability to cool,
leaving the area uncomfortably warm. The proper
size Is determined by the number of square feet in
the area to be cooled, indoor and outdoor
temperature and humidity
Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal
the air conditioner must run longer and more often

you want
At times using the MED FAN setting to circulate the
room air may make it comfortable even though the
air is not being cooled. This will decrease your cost
of use
