For this reason, the unit may not start normal cooling or heating for 3 minutes after it is turned back on. • Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug. • If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician. • Set the mode control at Fan Only or Hi Cool with the temp control at a warmer setting. • Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner. • Turn the temperature knob clockwise as far as possible. • Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Operating Instructions section. • When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to allow time for the room to cool down. • Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns. • Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position. • See "Air conditioner freezing up" above. • Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner. • Turn the knob counterclockwise as far as possible. The lowest setting provides maximum warming. • Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Operating Instructions section. • When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to warm up. • Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
