Energy Saver is chosen. Inside blower continues operating for one minute to use as much cooling that is

available in the evaporator.

Current Unit replaced an older unit. Newer, higher efficiency Air Conditioner may run longer to cool the room. Total

energy consumption is less due to higher efficiency.

BTU size is too small. A higher capacity unit may be required depending on the size of the room being

cooled. (Page 9)

you may hear the sound

of rushing air being moved

by the fan.

Gurgle/Hiss

"Gurgling or hissing" noise may

be heard due to refrigerant passing

through evaporator during normal

noise because of poor wall

or window construction or

incorrect installation.
