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:

  1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed
  2. Draw fresh air into the room - Fresh Air
  3. Expel indoor air outside - Vent Open.

NOTE: When in the cool mode fresh air venting or exhaust venting will affect cooling and decrease performance.
