Operating
Instructions
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation
SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER
The appliance can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the POWER button on the control panel or the ON/OFF but-ton on the remote
control
COOLING MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the COOL
indicator light comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes. In cooling mode, hot air is
exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust hose must be connected to exhaust out the hot air.
The temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 62°F / 17°C to 86°F / 30°C. To set the temperature, press the + or - buttons.
This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs
on fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner.
To set the fan speed, press the FAN button on the remote. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 2 fan speeds is not
very noticeable when the compressor is on.
DRY (DEHUMIDIFYING) ONLY MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner only dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient
temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the DRY indicator light is
displayed. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidifying
mode, the exhaust hose does not need to be vented. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifies. To
prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be re-circulated into the room. If
room temperature is higher than 77°F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If room temperature is lower than 77°F, the fan speed is set at
Low.
NOTE: When using dehumidifying mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required. If vented, the warm air is exhausted to
the outside and cooling within the room may occur. Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more frequent
draining. Also, the air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set.
FAN ONLY MODE
In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air in the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE
button until the FAN indicator light comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Changing the fan speed requires the
use of the remote control.
Fan Only mode does not require the use of the exhaust hose.
