E. FRESH AIR SWITCH
Fresh air can be circulated by pressing switch (E)
on the panel. This should be put on only when
discomfort is felt, as cooling effect reduces with
fresh air entry.
NOTE:
The A.C. can be switched ‘ON’ only if the blower
is ON’. Engine fast idling control has been
provided. When the AC is switched ‘ON’ the
engine idling RPM increases marginally to adjust
to the A.C. compressor load. When the thermostat
cuts off the A.C. engine idling RPM decreases to
normal idling. The condenser fan is a two speed
fan.

windows closed, to quicken the cooling open the
windows briefly while you operate the air
conditioner with the air circulation switch in fresh
air mode and the fan at a higher speed.

Select defrost / demist mode on air flow direction
control. Then set the blower to maximum speed
and temperature control knob to maximum heat.
These settings direct all air flow to the base of the
