Power Supply Cord

NOTE: Your air conditioner’s device may differ from the one shown. This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the electronics detect leakage current and power will be disconnected in a fraction of a second.To test your power supply cord:

  1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
  2. Press RESET (on some devices, a green light will turn on).
  3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip, and on some devices, a green light will turn off).
  4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will  latch, and on some devices, a green light will turn on). The power supply cord is ready for operation.

NOTE:

  • The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.
  • The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the test button is pressed or fails to reset.
  • Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
  • A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.
  • The power supply cord contains no user serviceable parts. Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and  performance claims.

    NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

  • The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.
  • The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heatproducing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat- producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not cool

  • The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
  • The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
  • The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are dirty or obstructed by debris. See Annual Maintenance.
  • There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat- producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
  • The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
  • The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room.
  • Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows and doors.
  • The Temp control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the Temp control to a cooler setting by pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed control to the highest setting .
