OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 

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) de-

lay 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 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 off. To cancel the delayed switch off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time set-

ting 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, fol-

lowed 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. 

SLEEP MODE 

In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in cooling mode, decreases the noise level 

and conserves energy. In Sleep and cooling mode, the set temperature is increased by 1°C/ 2°F in the first 30 

minutes. The temperature will then increase by another 1°C/ 2°F after an additional 30 minutes. This new tempera-

ture will remain the same for 7 hours. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button until the SLEEP   

indicator light comes on. 

AUTO RESTART 

In the event of a power outage, the air conditioner restarts at the previously set function mode and settings when 

power is restored.  

CONTROLLING THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION 

The louvers can be controlled to Auto-Swing or in a fixed direction. To control the air flow direction by Auto-Swing, 

press the SWING button.  To set the louvers in a fixed angle or direction, press SWING button while on Auto-Swing 

mode when desired angle is chosen.  

NOISE LEVEL 

Portable air conditioners may make sounds that are not familiar to you. The sounds listed below are normal. Noise 

reflecting off hard surfaces such as a floor or wall can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. 

The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound

Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound

Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound

Fan sound may come from front and back air vents

COMPRESSOR LOCK OUT 

This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 64°F – 90°F. The compressor cir-

cuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents over-heating of 

the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.  

SHORTCUT FUNCTION 

Push this button when remote controller is on, the system will automatically revert back to the previous settings in-

cluding operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level and sleep feature (if activated). If shortcut button is 

pushed for more than 2 seconds, the system will automatically store the current operation settings including operat-

ing mode, setting temperature, fan speed level and sleep feature (if activated).
