It primarily depends on humidity. Air conditioners have two functions, remove moisture from the air and cool the air. If the unit won't cycle because it is too hot or too much moisture is in the air, then the accumulated moisture freezes on the cools reducing the amount of air that can pass thru. The unit normally turns itself off to defrost the coils, called cycling.
So, leave the fan on high until the rig is cooled down and much of the moisture has been removed. You may have to leave the temperature turned up (warmer) to allow the unit to cycle. Then you could turn the fan down to low. Listen for the unit to cycle. If it doesn't cycle, then turn the temperature up until it cycles on a regular basis and/or leave the fan on high.
