device is tripped.
Airflow is restricted.
The thermostat may not
be set high enough.

minutes to restart the air conditioner
to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload.
Press the RESET button located

stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air
conditioner and contact a qualified
service technician.
Make sure there are no curtains ,
blinds, or furniture blocking the
front of the air conditioner.
Turn the knob to a higher number

maximum cooling.
Clean the filter at least every 2
weeks.
See the care and Maintenance

for the room to cool down.
Check for open furnace floor
