USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER 

(Cont.) 

• 

Freezing Conditions: 

This is a cooling only air 

conditioner. It is not designed for freezing outdoor 
conditions. It must not be used in freezing outdoor 
conditions. 

• 

Remote Control: 

To ensure proper operation 

when using the remote control, aim the remote 
directly at the signal receiver on the air condi-
tioner. 

• 

The remote control has a signal range up to 
20 feet.   

• 

Make sure nothing is blocking the remote con-
trol signal from being received by the air con-
ditioner. 

• 

Make sure the batteries are installed correctly 
and still have power. 

• 

Cooling Mode: 

Use the COOL mode at Low, Me-

dium, High, or Auto Fan speed when cooling is 
needed. Use the temperature 

/

 buttons to set 

the desired temperature between 6

1

°F and 86°F.  

• 

Once the temperature is set, the compressor 
will cycle on and off to keep the room 
temperature at the set temperature level. The 
lower the set thermostat temperature, the 
cooler the room will become. The higher the 
set thermostat temperature, the warmer the 
room will become. 

• 

For Normal Cooling - Set the Mode to 

Cool 

and the Fan to 

High 

or 

Med 

with the 

termperature set in the middle. 

• 

For Maximum Cooling - Set the Mode to 

Cool 

and the Fan to 

High 

with a lower set 

temperature. 

• 

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling - Set the 
Mode to 

Cool 

and the Fan to 

Low 

with the 

temperature set in the middle. 

NOTE: 

If the air conditioner is off and is then 

turned on while set to a Cool setting or if 
turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it 
may take approximately 3 minutes for the 
compressor to start and cooling to begin. 

• 

Energy Saver Mode 

- Controls the Fan 

On 

- The fan will cycle on and off with the            

compressor. This results in winder variations of room 
temperature and humidity. Normally used with the 
room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan m

a

y continue to 

run for a short time after the compressor cycles off. 

Off 

- The fan runs all the time in fan or cooling mode. 

 

• 

Fan Only Mode: 

Use 

Fan Only 

mode at 

Low

Med

, or 

High 

fan speed to provide air circulation 

and filtering without cooling. Since fan only setting 
do not provide cooling, a 

Set 

temperature cannot 

be entered. The room temperature will appear in 
the display.  

      NOTE: 

Auto Fan 

Speed cannot be used in 

Fan    

Only 

mode. 

• 

Loss of Power Protection: 

If power to the air 

conditioner is lost or interrupted, the air condi-
tioner will automatically re-start in the setting last 
used prior to power loss. If the Timer was set to 
automatically turn the air conditioner off or on, it 
will resume countdown at the amount time left 
prior to power loss. You may need to set a new 
time if desired. 

• 

Air Direction: 

Use the lever on the front air vents 

to adjust the direction of the airflow. You can di-
rect the airflow left, right, up or down. The lever is 
located on the right side of the air vent.
