Temperature Control

The temperature control is used to set the desired room temperature

when the unit is being operated in the COOL MODE.

To set the desired room temperature, rotate the temperature dial to the

desired setting. After the set temperature is achieved the thermostat

will automatically start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the

desired set temperature.

Rotate the temperature dial clockwise for higher cooling settings. Higher

cooling settting will provide lower room temperature. Rotate the tem-

perature dial counter clockwise to lower cooling settings. Lower cooling

setings will provide higher room temperature.

Move the lever from side to side until the desired

left/right direction is obtained.
