Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen.

This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the

side of the cabinet and behind the grill.

Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire

hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.

Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If

the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or

protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician

install the proper receptacle.

Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation.

Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place. This could

result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.

in a sequence that goes from “Auto”, “Cool”, “Dry” and

“Fan”. The indicator light will be illuminated and remain

on once the mode is selected.

NOTE:

In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted, it

starts automatically at a speed according to the

room temperature. If the room does not get too

warm, it will stay at “Low” speed.

Thisfunction is available inCOOL mode.

In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 3 minutes

after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles

on for 2 minutes, at 10 minute intervals, until the room

temperature is above the set temperature, at which

time the compressor turns back on and cooling starts.

NOTE:

To operate on “Auto” feature:

To operate on “Fan” only (not available on all models):

Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as

for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air. (Remember

to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed

during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency). You can

choose any fan speed you prefer. During this function, the

display will show the actual room temperature, not the set

temperature as in the cooling mode.

To operate on “Dry ” mode:

In this mode the air conditioner will reduce air humidity.

If the space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of

cooling will continue.

NOTE:

Press or hold either LEFT “Temp Timer” (◄) or RIGHT

“Temp Timer” (►) button until desired temperature is

seen on the display. This temperature will be automatically

maintained anywhere between 62ºF (17ºC) and 86ºF

(30ºC). If you want the display to read the actual room

temperature, see “To Operate on Fan Only” section above.

AIR CONDITIONER FEATURES (CONTINUED)

The Cool circuit has an automatic 3minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on

quickly. After unit is turned off, leave unit off for a minimum of 3 minutes before attempting to turn back on.

This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to

run during this time.

The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.

To convert from one to the other,press and hold the left and right “Temp/Timer” buttons at the

same time,for 3seconds.

Air Directional Louvers

Use the 4-way directional louvers to direct the air flow

Up or Down (on some models) and Left or Right throughout

the room as needed. Pivot horizontal louvers until the

desired Up/Down direction is obtained.

Move the Center Handles from side to side until the

desired Left/Right direction is obtained.

How to use:

Exhaust Control

This Exhaust Control allows the air conditioner to either circulate inside air (Closed) or exhaust air to the outside

(Open). The closed position is used when maximum cooling is desired. It may also be used for air re-circulation

without cooling when the air conditioner is set in any FAN position.

The Open position removes stale air from the room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn in through

normal passages in the home.

FOLLOW ME FEATURE

To activate the Follow Me feature, point the remote control

towards the unit and press the “Follow Me” button. The remote

displays the actual temperature at its location. The remote

control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3

minutes until the “Follow Me” button is pressed again. If the

unit does not receive the “Follow Me” signal during any 7

minute interval, the unit will beep to indicate the Follow Me

mode has ended. The actual temperature can be displayed

on the unit by pressing the “Fan” only mode. When in the

“Cool” mode, the unit display indicates the set temperature.

NOTE: This feature can ONLY be activated from the

remote control. The remote control serves as a remote

thermostat allowing for precise temperature control at

its location.
