Using your air conditioner
You can control your air conditioner by using the control panel on the front of the unit or by using the remote control. If
using the remote control, always point it at the control panel on your air conditioner.
Using your air conditioner for the first time
1
Plug in your air conditioner (be sure to follow the power cord instructions on page 4).
2
Turn the power on to your air conditioner using the ON/OFF button.
3
Select the Cool mode setting.

Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Controlling air flow on page 29).

Make sure that the air flow, both inside and outside, is not obstructed.

Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to a comfortable setting.
Turning your air conditioner on/off
Plug in your air conditioner, then press
on your air conditioner, or
ON/OFF
on your remote control, to turn your air
conditioner on or off.
Selecting an air conditioner mode
Press the
MODE
button repeatedly, on your air conditioner or your remote control, to cycle through Auto, Cool, Dry, and
Fan modes. An indicator lights to show which mode is selected.
•
Auto:
Your air conditioner automatically selects cooling or fan, depending on the temperature you have selected and
the room temperature. Fan speed cannot be adjusted, and it starts or stops based on the room temperature. You can
adjust the temperature setting up to 86° F (30° C) or down to 60° F (16° C). The display shows the set temperature.
•
Cool:
Your air conditioner cools your room, with the compressor turning on and off and the fan remaining on to
maintain the temperature you have selected. You can adjust the temperature setting up to 86° F (30° C) or down to
60° F (16° C). The display shows the set temperature.
•
Dry:
Your air conditioner operates as a dehumidifier. Some degree of cooling may occur as well.
•
Fan:
Your air conditioner circulates or exhausts air but does not cool the room. The display shows the actual room
temperature, not our set temperature.
Selecting the fan speed
Press the
FAN
button repeatedly to cycle through the available fan speeds. Choices include Auto, Low, Med, or High. In Dry
mode, the fan speed is set to Low automatically.
Using ECO (energy saver) mode
While using the ECO mode, the fan runs for three minutes after the compressor shuts off, then cycles on for two minutes at
10-minute intervals. When the room temperature is above the set temperature, the compressor turns back on and starts
cooling again.
• Press the
ECO
button on your air conditioner to turn on ECO mode when using Cool, Dry, or Auto (auto-cooling or
auto-fan) modes.
Setting the timer
The combined on/off timer lets you automatically start and stop your air conditioner after a set amount of time. You can
set Timer On to Off or Timer Off to On using your air conditioner control panel or the remote control.
Timer On
Set the timer to automatically turn on your air conditioner after a set time.
1
Press the
TIMER
button on your air conditioner, or
TIMER ON
on the remote control, until the Timer On LED or
(on
the remote control) lights.
2
To set how long to wait before your air conditioner turns on, press
/
(up/down arrows) to adjust the delay time
from 0.5–10 hours in half-hour increments, then 10–24 hours in one-hour increments. Your air conditioner starts
running after the timer counts down from the set time.
Notes
:
• If your air conditioner turns off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will automatically restart with the previous settings when the
power resumes.
• The cooling circuit has an automatic three minute delay if your air conditioner is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possibly tripping the circuit breaker. The fan continues to run during this time.
• The relative humidity of the room should be less than 80%. If the unit is used in a condition with a relative humidity over 80%, water
will condense on the surface of your air conditioner.
• For optimum performance, outdoor temperatures should be from 64° F to 109° F (18° C to 43° C), and indoor temperatures should
be from 60° F to 90° F (16° C to 32° C).
Note
: Your air conditioner automatically initiates ECO mode in the Cool, Dry, and Auto (auto-cooling or auto-fan) modes.
