For Maximum Performance and Efficiency:

1. Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use.

2. Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure they do not obstruct the air

intake.

3. Minimize the length of the exhaust hose.

4. Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible.

5. Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the day.

6. Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For example, set the timer to turn on

the unit in cooling mode for 3 or more hours to cool the room before you arrive. You may

want to operate the unit all day if you live in a warmer climate.

7. Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers, people, etc.) in the room.

8. Close all windows and doors.

9. Use the unit in a contained room. For example, a room with four walls and a roof, instead

of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.

10. Make sure the unit is on a level surface.

11. Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, adding a dehumidifier.

12. To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before turning the unit

back on after shutting it off.

13. Inspect and keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly.

14. Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly.

15. Perform routine maintenance.

Optimizing Performance

Maintenance

Never spray water onto the main

unit.

Never use volalile substances such

as gasoline or polishing powder to

clean the appliance.

It is necessary to clean or replace

the air filters periodically.

Clean as follows:

Use lukewarm water

(below 104˚F) to clean

the appliance.

1. If you are not going to use this unit for a long time, be sure to drain the water from the

reservoir by removing the drain cap and the rubber plug.

2. Before storing the unit, run it in fan mode for a few hours to dry any moisture on the coils to

prevent mold.

3. Turn the unit off, clean the air filter and reinstall it.

4. Remove the exhaust hose and connectors and keep them in a safe place.

Maintenance and Storage

Replace the activated carbon filter

The activated carbon filter cannot be cleaned

and needs to be disposed of when cleaning the

pre-filter. EdgeStar sells replacement activated carbon

filters. Contact customer service via email at

service@edgestar.com or by telephone at

1-866-319-5473 to purchase additional activated carbon

filters.

Stop the appliance and

remove the activated carbon

filter and the pre-filter.

The activated carbon

filter attaches to the

standard pre-filter. The

activated carbon filter

removes smoke, odors

and other harmful

particles, while the

pre-filter removes dust.

Clean and reinstall the

pre-filter

Dirt can be cleaned off the pre-filter

by washing it with a solution of soap in

lukewarm water. After cleaning the pre-filter,

allow it to air dry in shaded and cool place, then

reinstall. Clean the pre-filter

every two weeks if the air

conditioner operates in a

dusty environment.

Turn off the appliance

first before disconnecting

from the power supply.

Cut off the power supply

Wipe with a soft

and dry cloth

Troubleshooting

Why is my air conditioner not functioning at all?

oMove the air conditioner to another outlet, and test the outlet with a voltage tester or another appliance

that is known to be non-defective. If the outlet is bad, contact an electrician and move the air conditioner to

another outlet.

oIf the remote will not work, first, check the batteries. The control panel may be unplugged from the circuit board.

Contact customer service to repair.

Why is my air conditioner not cooling at all?

oThe unit should be in a room where the ambient temperature is below 95˚F . If the ambient temperature is

above 95˚F, the unit will likely not blow cold air but is not defective. Follow the below steps to increase the

efﬁciency of your unit’s compressor:

oMinimize heat in the room.

oMinimize the size of the area to be cooled (close doors and windows).

oClose curtains or pull down blinds; minimize direct sunlight into the room.

oRemove additional heat sources such as computer equipment (servers), etc.

oRun the unit before it is needed (e.g., run the unit in the morning before the area gets hot, and

continue to run the unit all day long in order to maintain a low temperature).

oUse more than one unit or a larger unit to cool the area.

oRemove the exhaust hose and run the unit for 5 minutes. Stick your hand in front of the exhaust and then

in front of the internal air louvers. Is the exhaust noticeably hotter than the interior air? If so, the unit is not

defective; follow the above steps to maximize efficiency of your unit’s compressor.

oIf your unit has a filter, the filter may be dusty or otherwise blocked. Clean the ﬁlter or contact customer

service to replace if necessary.

oCheck to make sure the air intake or exhaust ports are not partially obstructed. If they are, remove the

obstruction.

My unit turns on, but one of the fans is not turning or makes a loud noise? (Exhaust and evaporator fan)

oIf the fan spins freely while the unit is off, but does not spin when the unit is on, then the probable

cause is a loose wire from the fan motor to the circuit board, or a faulty fan motor. Contact customer

service to replace faulty wiring or fan motor.

oIf the fan does not spin freely, then the probable cause is a broken fan, or a foreign object has

jammed the fan. Contact customer service if fan is broken, or unplug unit and attempt to remove

foreign object.

oThe air conditioner may not be receiving electrical power. Press the test/reset buttons on the LCDI power

cord.

Troubleshooting

Why are the control panel lights blinking randomly?

oYour air conditioner may have a minor electrical fault. Move the unit to another outlet or unplug the unit and

plug it in again.

oYour air conditioner may be plugged into an outlet that cannot supply the correct voltage to the unit. Move the

air conditioner to another outlet, and test the outlet with a voltage tester or another appliance that is known to

be non-defective. If the outlet is bad, contact an electrician and move the air conditioner to another outlet.

oIf that is not the problem, the unit may have a faulty control panel. Contact customer service.

My unit runs for a little while (generally about 90 seconds) and then suddenly trips its power cord (and/or the

circuit breaker).

oYour air conditioner may need to be reset. Move the unit to another outlet or unplug the unit for 1 minute and

plug it in again.

oYour air conditioner may be plugged into an outlet that cannot supply the correct voltage to the unit. Move the

air conditioner to another outlet, and test the outlet with a voltage tester or another appliance that is known to

be non-defective. If the outlet is bad, contact an electrician and move the air conditioner to another outlet.

My air conditioner is too loud?

oYour air conditioner may be positioned on a hard or uneven ﬂoor causing your unit to vibrate. Move the unit

onto a level, carpeted surface.

oIf the unit is level and a “knocking” noise is audible, the unit may have a faulty compressor. Contact customer

service.

Why is my air conditioner leaking?

oMake sure the unit on a level surface.

oMake sure you are running the unit with the drain plug installed. Make sure the drain cap as well as the rubber

drain plug is attached to the unit.

Both fans are blowing, but only room temperature air is coming out of both fans?

oCheck to see if there is any oily residue on the bottom of the unit or inside the unit on the panels, or

components. If this is the case, then the compressor has a cracked coil that is leaking oil and the unit must be

replaced. Contact customer service to replace.

oCheck for damage to the bottom of the unit. If damage is present, contact customer service.

oMake sure the unit is on “cooling” mode.

oNote that the compressor may take up to 3 minutes to turn on.
