Operating the Remote Control
Use the
Power button to turn the portable air conditioner on and off.
By default when you first use the power button, the unit will begin to
operate in cooling mode and the front panel will be illuminated in blue.
The unit will remember the last used mode/settings if you shut down and
restart.
Auto-Restart:
If power to the unit is interrupted, the air conditioner will
restart itself in its last used mode/settings once power is restored. The
compressor will restart after 3 minutes.
Cooling mode cools and dehumidifies the air. If the ambient temperature
drops below the temperature you selected, the compressor turns off and
the unit functions with the fan only. When the temperature rises above the
temperature you selected, the compressor turns on again. The front panel
lights will be blue. Whether your desired temperature can actually be
reached depends on the ambient conditions. The room temperature
remaining above the set temperature is normal.
To operate the unit in cooling mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the
Power button on the remote control.
3) Press the
Mode button until the
cooling indicator is selected.
4) Select the fan speed by using the
Speed button.
5) Set the thermostat by using the
Up and
Down buttons. The
thermostat is adjustable between 64°F - 90°F in one degree increments.
You can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing the
button.
During the Dehumidifying mode, the unit will condense water out of the air
and exhaust it through the exhaust hose. The ambient temperature in the
room will probably drop by a few degrees while using the Dehumidifying
mode. The front panel lights will be yellow.
To operate the unit in dehumidifying mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the
Power button on the remote control.
3) Press the
Mode button until the dehumidify indicator is
selected.
This mode allows the units to run as a heat pump. The unit must be
vented for it to expel the cold air out the exhaust.
To operate the unit in heat mode:
1) Press the
Mode button until the
heat indicator
is selected.
2) Set the thermostat by using the
Up and
Down buttons.

NOTE: The exhaust hose
must be used in Cooling
mode in order to cool a room.
NOTES: If the room temperature is below 77ºF, the fan will always run on low speed in this mode. If you do
not use the exhaust hose in Dehumidify mode, you must manually drain the water from the unit.
