OPERATION 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 Power 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 62°F / 17°C to 88°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. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level 

between the 4 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 comes on. 
Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute 
transition time. In dehumidifying mode, do not connect the exhaust hose and let the warm 
air return to the room 

 

AUTOMATIC MODE

 

  When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling or fan 

only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature 
is close to the unit. The fan speed is automatically selected and cannot be changed 

  To operate the unit in Auto mode when the unit is on, press the Mode button until the 

indicator for “Auto” is lit 

 

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. Fan Only mode requires that the exhaust hose be 
removed
