OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

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 button 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 6

1

°F / 1

6

°C to 

89

°F / 3

2

°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. 

NOTE: In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the fan speeds is not very noticeable when the compressor is on. Try 
setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings. 

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 dehumidi-
fying 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 recirculated 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 exhaust-
ed 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. Subsequently, set the 
desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button. When using FAN only mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is optional.

 

TIMER (DELAYED SWITCH ON / OFF) FUNCTION 

This function mode enables a delayed switch ON or delayed switch OFF of the air conditioner. The time (hours) delay can be set, 
enabled and disabled. 

SETTING SWITCH OFF TIMER 

With the air conditioner operating in any function mode, press the TIMER button. The TIMER OFF light will come on. Then set 
the desired time delay OFF hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, 
fol-lowed by 1 hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches off. To cancel 
the delayed switch off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0. 

SETTING DELAYED SWITCH ON TIMER 

With the air conditioner is off, press the TIMER button. The TIMER ON light will come on. Then set the desired time delay ON 
hours by pressing the UP and DOW N buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, followed by 1 hour 
increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches on. To cancel the delayed switch on 
function, turn on the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.
