Operation

 For Cooling

A. Turn selector switch to the "LOW COOL" or "HIGH COOL" position.

B. Rotate the thermostat (temperature control) to the position that is the most comfortable to you. The thermostat will turn the compressor on when the temperature of the air entering the air conditioner rises a few degrees above the setting you have selected. Then the temperature of the air entering continues to cycle the compressor on and off in the above mentioned fashion until the selector switch is turned to another mode of operation.

C. Position the louvers to the desired direction the discharge air is to flow.

Note: The fan operation is constant, only the compressor cycles on the thermostat.

 Operation During Cooler Nights (Cooling Operation).

It is important, when the outdoor temperature drops in the evening or during the night to below 75 degrees F, that the thermostat (temperature control) be set at a midpoint between "Warmer" and "Cooler". If the setting is at "Cooler", the evaporator coil may become iced-up and stop cooling. During the day when the temperatures have risen above 75 degrees F, reset the thermostat switch to the desired setting.

NOTE ON ICING UP

Should icing-up occur, it is necessary to let the cooling (evaporator) coil defrost before normal cooling operation is resumed. During this time, operate the unit in the "HIGH FAN" position with the system at maximum air flow. When increased or full air flow is observed, the cooling coil should be clear of ice.

Check the Filter

 If your air conditioner doesn’t cool as well as you think it should, check the A/C filter and make sure it is clean. The filter should be cleaned at least once a week. If you are camping at the beach, you may need to clean the filter twice a week because there is a lot of sand build up.


Using Extension Cord

If you are running the trailer off an extension cord, this could be the problem. We only recommend the trailer being run off of a 10-3 Heavy Duty Extension cord no longer than 25 feet.
