Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the 

best possible results.

This section explains proper air conditioner operation. 

IMPORTANT:

If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes

before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner

from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode

when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside

evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not

operate properly.

NOTE:

 In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will 

operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

Turning on the Air Conditioner

1. Press POWER to turn on air conditioner.
2. Press POWER again to turn off the air

conditioner.

Selecting the Mode

1. Press MODE to cycle through modes.
2. Choose Cool, Dry, or Fan.

Cool—Cools the room and reduces air

humidity. Press MODE to activate the cooling

function. Press the up or down arrow button

to adjust the temperature.

Dry Mode—Reduces the humidity of the air.

Press MODE to set the Dry mode. An automatic

function of alternating cooling cycles and air fan is

Fan—Only the fan runs. Press MODE to set the 

Fan mode. Press FAN SPEED to select High, Med,

and Low. The remote control stores the speed set

in the previous mode of operation. In Auto mode,

the unit automatically chooses the fan speed and the mode of 

operation (Cool, Dry, or Fan).

NOTE:

 After 5 seconds, display will show the current room 

temperature.
