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.
In AUTO , the fan speed will automatically operate at the
speed needed to provide optimum comfort. If the room
needs faster cooling to meet the set temperature, the
fan will automatically increase. If the room needs less
cooling, the fan will automatically decrease.
SLEEP
SLEEP set the unit to gradually change setting over an 8
hour period to allow for increased energy savings during
sleeping hours. The
SLEEP mode is available only in
COOL and FAN only settings.
Press the SLEEP mode pad and its light will illuminate.
The FAN indicator will stay at the same setting but the air
conditioner will automatically change the FAN speed to
low in either the COOL or FAN only mode.
In FAN only mode, the fan will stay in the LOW speed
setting for 8 hours. After 8 hours, the air conditioner will
resume the settings that were in place before the
SLEEP
mode pad was pressed.
In COOL and HEAT modes, the fan will stay in LOW
speed setting for 8 hours from the time the SLEEP mode
pad was pressed. The air conditioner will raise the set
point 2ºF(1ºC) in cooling (lower the set point in heating)
in 30 minutes and 2ºF(1ºC) more in another 30 minutes
where it will remain for another 7 hours. After this 8-hour
period, the unit will resume the settings that were in place
before the
SLEEP mode pad was pressed.
While the unit is in SLEEP mode, pressing any pad will
return it to the settings that were in place before the
SLEEP mode was pressed.
Check Filter

feature is a reminder to clean the air filter for more

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

the control panel lights off immediately.
To Select the Operating Mode

and the heating function will automatically switch
between electric heat mode and heatpump mode to
maintain room set temperature and to reduce operating
costs. At outdoor temperatures below 40ºF(4.4ºC),
the unit will operate in electric heat mode only. The
AJHQ08AWH is not intended to be the sole source of

During this function, the display will show the actual
room temperature, not the set temperature in the
cooling or heating (on some models) mode.
Ŷ In FAN only mode, the temperature is not adjustable.
To operate in ECO Mode:
Ŷ
With this feature, the unit will operate in COOL mode
only. The fan will operate with the compressor to
cool the space. The fan will continue to run for 3
minutes after the compressor stops and the room
set temperature has been met. The fan then cycles
on for 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals until the room
temperature is above the set point, at which time the
compressor turns on and cooling starts.
To operate in DRY Mode:
Ŷ
In this mode, the air conditioner will generally operate in
the form of a dehumidifer. Since the conditioned space
is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling
will occur. In
DRY mode, the fan operates in LOW fan
speed only.
