TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Press or hold either Down  or Up  button until the de-

sired temperature is seen on the display. This tempera-

ture will be automatically maintained anywhere between

62° F (17° C) and 86° F (30° C).

If you want the display to read the actual room tempera-

ture, refer to the note: “To Operate on Fan Only”.

FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Select the Fan Speed in four steps: Auto, Low, Med or

High. Each time the button is pressed, the fan speed

mode is shied. On Dry mode, the fan speed is controlled

at Low automatically.

OPERATING MODE (FUNCTION) SELECTION

To choose operating mode, press the Mode button.

Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a

sequence that goes from AUTO, COOL, DRY, and FAN. The

indicator light beside will be illuminated and will remain

on once the mode is selected.

USING AUTO FEATURE

When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will

automatically select cooling or fan only operation de-

pending on the current room temperature and the target

temperature you have set. The air conditioner will con-

trol room temperature automatically. In this mode, the

fan speed cannot be adjusted.

USING DRY MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner will generally operate in

the form of a dehumidifier. Since the conditioned space is a

closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will continue.

FAN ONLY MODE

Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such

as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air (on some

models). Remember to open the vent during this function,

but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling

eiciency. 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. In Fan Only mode, the temperature is not adjusted.

PMTS — FOLLOW ME (SOME MODELS)

Some models are equipped with a special feature that allows

the remote control to act as a thermostat. If your unit shows

this PMTS LED on the control panel, and you have the accom-

panying LCD remote control then your unit is equipped.

You must activate this feature through the remote control by

pressing the PMTS button. Once activated, it is important to

keep the remote aimed at the air conditioner and place it in

the center of the room for best results.

ENERGY SAVER MODE

This function is available on COOL mode. The fan will con-

tinue to run for 3 minutes aer the compressor shuts o.

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 that due to modern energy saving regulations,

this mode is on by default and you must turn it o if you

want the fan to run constantly during cooling mode.

SLEEP MODE

In this mode the selected temperature will increase by 2°F

(or 2°C) 30 minutes aer the mode is selected. The tempera-

ture will then increase by another 2°F (or 2°C) aer an addi-

tional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained

for 6 hours before it returns to the originally selected tem-

perature. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will contin-

ue to operate as originally programmed. The Sleep mode

program can be canceled at any time during operation by

pressing the Sleep button again.

CHECK FILTER

This feature is a reminder to clean the Air Filter for more

eicient operation. The LED (light) will illuminate aer 250

hours of operation. To reset aer cleaning the filter, press

the Check Filter button and the light will go o. See section

under Cleaning and Maintenance for how to clean the filter.

Note: Your filter may need to be cleaned much more oen

in especially dusty environments and may not need to be

cleaned as oen in especially clean environments. The 250

hour indicator is just there as a reminder.

DELAY START/STOP (TIMER)

The timer buttons enable two separate functions: one to

automatically start the unit within a 24 hour period of time

and another to automatically turn o the unit within a 24 hour

period of time. These functions are called, respectively, AUTO

ON and AUTO OFF.

AUTO ON INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Press the TIMER button twice, or until the TIMER ON

LED on the air conditioner's control panel should illumi-

nate. The air conditioner's display shows the last Auto-On

setting (if any). Now you are ready to reset the Auto-On time

to START the operation.

2. Press either the  or  buttons to set desired

Auto-On time. Each time you press the  button, the time will increase in 30 minute

increments, up to 10 hours, then in 1 hour increments up to 24 hours.

3. Aer setting the TIMER ON, there will be a one-half second delay before the remote

controller transmits the signal to the air conditioner. Then, aer approximately

another 2 seconds, the time setting will disappear from the unit's display and the

set temperature will re-appear on the display window. The Timer ON LED should

remain illuminated.

AUTO OFF INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Press the TIMER button once, or until the TIMER OFF LED on the air condition-

er's control panel should illuminate. The air conditioner's display shows the last

Auto-O setting (if any). Now you are ready to reset the Auto-O time to START the

operation.

2. Press either the  or  buttons to set desired Auto-O time. Each time you press

the  button, the time will increase in 30 minute increments, up to 10 hours, then in

1 hour increments up to 24 hours.

3. Aer setting the TIMER ON, there will be a one-half second delay before the remote

controller transmits the signal to the air conditioner. Then, aer approximately

another 2 seconds, the time setting will disappear from the unit's display and the

set temperature will re-appear on the display window. The Timer OFF LED should

remain illuminated.

Notes: It is possible to set both and Auto-On and Auto-O program at the same time. All times that are set are

the time from the moment of setting. So if you were to set a delay of 5 hours to turn on and immediately aer

set a delay of 6 hours to turn o, then the unit will operate for a total of 1 hour in 5 hours time from now.

All programs are erased aer their time elapses, so they will not repeat again the next day until reprogrammed.

Important: If you use a separate timer to obtain more control (such as turning on and o at a specific time every

day), the unit will remember its previous mode. It may, however, return to energy saver mode by default. If you do

use a timer, be sure that it is a heavy -duty grounded (three-prong) timer that is rated for the appropriate amper-

age.

• Aix the foam seal (with adhesive G ) to the bottom of

the window sash.

STEP 4: MOUNT THE UNIT IN THE WINDOW

FRAME

1. With the help of another person, center the unit on the

windowsill. The lower rail should be completely flush

with the windowsill. Gently lower the window until it

holds the upper rail in place. The chassis and frames are

configured to allow for a natural pitch towards the outside of about 3-5°.

2. Extend the window fillers to the right and le edge of the window.

3. Fasten the upper rail and top corners of the window filler panels to the window

frame with screws. Use the frame locks to attach the bottom corners to the window-

sill.

ENGLISH

–16–

STEP 5: SECURING THE WINDOW

• To keep the window from

being unintentionally opened

and risk damaging the unit or

injuring passersby, use one

type C screw to fasten the se-

curity bracket to the window.

If your window frame is plastic

(PVC), fasten the bracket to the

side of the window frame (De-

tail 1)If your window is made

of wood, fasten the bracket into the closed upper window sash (Detail 2).

STEP 6: INSULATING FOAM SASH SEAL

• Prevent warm or cold

air from entering in

between the partially

opened window and

the closed upper

window by placing the

non-adhesive foam

sash seal in between

the window sash and

the glass pane.

R1 INSULATION INSTALLATION (FOR SOME MODELS)

"R1" is the name given to special additional insulation that applies to Energy Star certi-

fied models manufactured aer a certain cut-o date. If your model fits this criterion,

you will have found a weather stripping foam and additional panels that fit over the

side curtains among the parts

included with your air condi-

tioner.

WEATHER STRIPPING

In order to minimize air

leaks between the room air

conditioner and the window

opening, trim the weath-

er stripping with a proper

length, peel o the protective

backing and plug any gaps if

needed.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

SAFETY WARNING

To avoid electric shock, fire, damage, or injury while performing maintenance on your

unit:

• Always turn o and disconnect the air conditioner from electric power.

• Never submerge the unit in water or spray liquids directly on the unit.

• Never use solvents or other flammable or volatile liquids (examples: paint thinner,

acetone, gasoline, etc.) to clean the air conditioner.

PRE-COOLING SEASON UNIT CHECK

Before using your air conditioner in the warm summer months, always perform the

following verifications to ensure reliable, eicient operation:

• Check the air inlets and outlets for any foreign objects (example: leaves, sticks, small

toys, etc.)

• Check that the electrical cord and socket are not damaged, bent, or fraying.

• Check the filter and clean if necessary.

POST-COOLING SEASON UNIT CHECK

Aer using your air conditioner in the warm summer months, always perform the fol-

lowing verifications:

• Disconnect the unit electrical power.

• Clean the filter and unit casing.

• Remove dust and other objects on the unit.

• Discard any accumulated water inside the unit (see section about drainage).

LONG-TERM STORAGE

Should you place your unit in long-term storage, perform all of the post-season checks

listed above and perform the following additional steps:

• Wrap the electrical cord loosely around the unit.

• Cover the unit with a sheet or cloth to prevent dust buildup inside during storage.

• WARNING: Never store the unit up-side down or on its side. This can permanently

damage the compressor.

DISPOSAL INFORMATION

• Most unit packaging materials are recyclable. Please dispose of them according to

local recycling guidelines.

• If you wish to discard the unit, contact your local authorities for specific appliance

disposal instructions. If the unit is functional and in good repair, but you wish to dis-

pose of it, consider donating it to a local charity.

ENGLISH

–19–

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING AND INTAKE GRILLE

If dust has accumulated on the unit, use a so, dry dusting cloth to wipe it o. If grease

or other harder to remove substances is on the unit, use a wrung-out cloth dampened

with warm, soapy water. Use a so brush to clean o the grille.

CLEANING THE FILTER

For energy eicient operation, your filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Units

in dusty environments may require more frequent filter cleaning.

• The filter removal handles are located on both sides of the unit (see "Getting to know

your air conditioner" diagram, number F

above).

• Remove it by sliding it out.

• Use a vacuum cleaner or rinse the filter in

cold water. If the filter is particularly dirty

(such as grease buildup), wash and gently

scrub the filter in a bath of warm (not hot)

soapy water. Let the filter completely dry

in a shady place; exposing the filter to

direct sunlight can cause deformation.

• Aer the filter is clean and completely dry, re-insert the filter.

Note: To avoid deformation and fire risk, never dry the filter with a heat source, such as a

hair dryer, fireplace, or heater.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM / POSSIBLE CAUSES

THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL

• Is the power cable properly inserted into a functioning, grounded outlet?

• Is there a power failure such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?

• Is the ambient temperature lower than 61°F (16°C)? A safety device prevents the unit

from cooling the room to even lower temperatures.

INSUFFICIENT COOLING

• Is the unit temperature set properly?

• Is the air filter dirty?

• Are doors or windows open?

• Is the room directly exposed to sunlight or are there other heat sources in the room?

• Are there a large number of people in the room?

ENGLISH

–20–

WATER BUILD-UP IN THE UNIT, SPLASHING NOISE

• This is not a problem. This self-evaporative unit is designed allow condensate to

build up in the rear of the unit during cooling and dry modes. The rear fan then runs

through the pool of water, splashing it upon the evaporator coils, helping to cool

them down. This makes the unit more eicient and eliminates the need to hook up a

drain hose.

THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT STARTS AND STOPS VERY FREQUENTLY.
