Your model may offer slightly different features.Selector ControlThe selector control turns the unit on or off and allows a choice of either coolingroom air, circulating room air at the existing temperature, or heating room air.COOL/FANOperate COOL/FAN modes according to the following suggestions:• ON/OFF or OFF = Turns air conditioner on and off.• HIGH COOL = Maximum cooling speed.

Turn the selectorto the HEAT setting and set the thermostat at WARMER setting. When the HEATsetting is selected, the thermostat maintains the temperature by automaticallyturning the heater on and off in response to room temperature. The fan runscontinuously to circulate air in the room.Once the room is warm, adjust the thermostat to a less warm position. This providesless heat, or cooler temperatures.A slight heat odor may come from the unit when first switching to HEAT after thecooling season is over. This odor, caused by fine dust particles on the heater, willdisappear quickly.Automatic ThermostatWhen a COOL or HEAT setting is selected, the thermostat controls the amount ofcooling or heating by automatically turning the cooling compressor or heater onand off in response to the room temperature.NOTE: If the air conditioner is turned off,wait 3 minutes before restarting.
