USING THE AIR CONDITIONER

To Adjust Fan Speeds

Press the Fan Speed button to select the FAN Speed 
in four steps - Auto, Low, Med, or High. Each time the 
button is pressed, the fan speed mode is shifted.

For some models, the fan speed can not be adjusted 
under HEAT mode. In DRY mode, the fan speed is 
controlled at low automatically.

Sleep

Press the Sleep button to initiate the sleep mode. In this 
mode the selected temperature will increase (cooling) 
or decrease (heating) by 2°F / 1°C 30 minutes after the 
mode is selected. The temperature will then increase 
(cooling) or decrease (heating) by another 2°F / 1°C after 
an additional 30 minutes.

This new temperature will be maintained for 7 hours 
before it returns to the originally selected temperature. 
This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will continue 
to operate as originally programmed. The Sleep mode 
program can be cancelled at any time during operation 
by pressing the Sleep button again. 

Check Filter

Press the Filter button to initiate this feature. This feature 
is a reminder to clean the air filter for more efficient

operation. To reset after cleaning the filter, press the Filter 
button and the light will go off.
