BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVlCE

TIMER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY

• If a power failure occurs while the ON or OFF TIMER is set, the TIMER setting will

be cancelled and will not resume even after the power is reinstated. This is the
normal operation for this unit.

NOTE: WATER IN BOTTOM OF TRAY

• Water will collect in the bottom tray of the unit. This is normal. Water condenses on

the evaporator coil at the front of the unit and is channeled to the rear where it is
picked up by the condenser fan. The water is blown onto the condenser coil fins and
this creates a "splashing" noise which is normal. If excess water builds up in this tray
it will drain outside through a grooved channel in the tray.

SOUNDS

• The operating sound may seem rather loud for 2 to 3 minutes when the unit is first

turned on. This is the sound of the compressor's start-up and is normal.

• A soft, swishing noise can be heard immediately after the unit is turned on or off, and

also during operation. This is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.

IF THE UNIT FAILS TO RECEIVE THE REMOTE CONTROL SIGNAL

• Check the remote control batteries. Replace if necessary.
• Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed directly at the unit's

receiver window.

• Check whether the remote control batteries are installed with the polarities properly

aligned.
