Device

                           To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the 
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance. 

WARNING

!

The  power supply cord contains a current  device that senses damage to the power cord. To 
test your power supply cord do the following:
1. Plug in the Air Conditioner.
2. The  power  supply cord  will have TWO buttons  on the plug head. Press the TEST button.
    You will notice a click as the RESET button pops out.
3. Press the RESET button. Again you will notice a click as the button engages.
4. The power supply  cord  is now  supplying  electricity to the unit. (On some products this is 
    also indicated by a light on the plug head).

NOTES:

Do not use this device to turn the unit on or off.
Always make sure the RESET button is pushed in for correct operation.
The power supply  cord must  be replaced if it  fails to reset when either the TEST button is

    pushed, or it cannot  be reset. A  new one  can be obtained from the product manufacturer.

If  power supply  cord is  damaged, it  CANNOT  be  repaired. It MUST be  replaced by one

    obtained from the product manufacturer.

To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:

1. Set the thermostat to the highest number (coldest or cooler setting).
2. Set the selector control to the highest COOL setting.
3. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
4. Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to the setting you find most comfortable.
Review the “ Air Conditioner Features” section for other settings.

Using Air Conditioner

NOTE: If  the  air  conditioner  is  turned 
off,  wait  3  minutes   before  restarting. 
This    allows     pressure     inside     the 
compressor  and   equalize.   Failure  to 
follow     these     instructions    may   be 
harmful to your unit.

The  controls  featured  in  this  manual  are  representative  of  many available models. Your 
model may offer slightly different features.

Cool Mode

The  desired  cool  setting  is  selected by  rotating  the  knob  to  the  right  to the appropriate 
location.
   “

high cool

” has maximum cooling effect and airflow.

   “

low cool

” has minimum cooling effect and airflow.

   “

Mid cool

” has the intermediate cooling effect and airflow.

Note: If your unit is equipped with a vent handle, keep it closed for maximum efficiency.

Fan Mode

Rotate the knob to the left to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation.
Note:  When  selecting  a  fan  speed,  the  compressor  will  not  run.  On  models with a vent 
control, this mode can be used to remove stale air from the room, or to draw fresh air into the 
room. Check the section 'Additional Things You Should Know'.

Thermostat

The  thermostat  is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being operated
in the 

“COOL MODE”

.

To  set  the  desired  room  temperature,  rotate  the  thermostat switch to the desired setting. 
After  the  set  temperature  is  achieved  the  thermostat  will automatically start and stop the 
compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature.

Rotate  the  thermostat  selector  clockwise  for higher cool settings. Higher cool settings will
provide lower room temperature.
Rotate the thermostat selector counter clockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool settings
will provide higher room temperature.
