Room Air Conditioners - What is the additional vent located under my air louvers?
Applies to
- Room Air Conditioners
Solution
On select models, you may notice a small tab identified with Open / Fresh Air / Closed.
This fresh air vent allows the air conditioner to:
- Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed
- Draw fresh air into the room - Fresh Air
- Expel indoor air outside - Vent Open.
NOTE: When in the cool mode fresh air venting or exhaust venting will affect cooling and decrease performance.
