Press or hold either Down  or Up  button until the
desired temperature is seen on the display. This temperature 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 temperature, 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 shifted. 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 depending on the current room temperature and the target
temperature you have set. The air conditioner will control
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
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. In Fan Only mode, the temperature is not adjusted.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
ENGLISH
ENERGY SAVER MODE
This function is available on COOL 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 that due to modern energy saving regulations, this mode is on by default and you must turn it off if
you want the fan to run constantly during cooling mode.
Ion
SLEEP MODE
In this mode the selected temperature will increase by 2°F
(or 2°C) 30 minutes after the mode is selected. The temperature will then increase by another 2°F (or 2°C) after an
additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 6 hours before it returns to the originally selected temperature. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit
will continue to operate as originally programmed. The
Sleep mode program can be canceled at any time during

hour indicator is just there as a reminder.
–10–
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 off 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
illuminate. 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. After setting the TIMER ON, there will be a one-half second delay before the
remote controller transmits the signal to the air conditioner. Then, after 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 conditioner's control panel should illuminate. The air conditioner's display shows the last
Auto-Off setting (if any). Now you are ready to reset the Auto-Off time to START the
operation.
2. Press either the  or
 buttons to set desired Auto-Off 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. After setting the TIMER ON, there will be a one-half second delay before the
remote controller transmits the signal to the air conditioner. Then, after 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-Off 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
after set a delay of 6 hours to turn off, then the unit will operate for a total of 1 hour in 5 hours time from now.
All programs are erased after 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 off 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
amperage.

unit:
• Always turn off 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, efficient 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
After using your air conditioner in the warm summer months, always perform the
following 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
dispose of it, consider donating it to a local charity.
–18–
If dust has accumulated on the unit, use a soft, dry dusting cloth to wipe it off. If
grease or other harder to remove substances is on the unit, use a wrung-out cloth
dampened with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean off the grille.
CLEANING THE FILTER
For energy efficient operation, your filter should be cleaned at least once a month.
Units in dusty environments may require
more frequent filter cleaning.
• The filter simply slides out the right
side of your unit.
• 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.
• After 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?
–19–
ENGLISH
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING AND INTAKE GRILLE
ENGLISH
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 efficient and eliminates the need to
hook up a drain hose.
THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT STARTS AND STOPS VERY FREQUENTLY.
• Verify the rating of your electrical system and outlets. You may need a qualified
electrician to troubleshoot and upgrade your electrical circuits if your air conditioner unit exceeds the rated capacity.
FOG BLOWS OUT DURING COOLING
• In warm, high humidity environments this may naturally occur. Continued cooling
will remove excess humidity from the room and the fog will disappear.
THE UNIT EMITS A STRANGE SMELL
• This may be caused by residue from cooking and cigarette smoke, etc. that remain
in the air conditioning unit. Eliminated the source of the smell and clean the filter.
THE UNIT MAKES LOUD OR UNUSUAL NOISES AND VIBRATIONS
• Ensure that the unit is installed according to the installation instructions above.
THERE IS A “SQUEALING” NOISE
• The cycling of the refrigerant inside the unit can temporarily cause this noise.
THERE IS A “PATTING” NOISE
• This is often caused by heat expansion in the plastic parts.
CONDENSATION FORMS AT THE COOL AIR OUTLET
• High humidity environments may cause condensation at the air flow output. Wipe
the condensation off with a sponge or dry cloth.
IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PHENOMENA OCCUR DESPITE THE ABOVE TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES, PLEASE TURN OFF THE UNIT AND DISCONNECT
THE POWER CORD IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN:
•
•
•
•
•
The fuse blows or circuit breaker trips frequently.
The power cable is abnormally hot.
The insulation of the power cable is ripped, shred or torn.
The unit controls do not work.
The unit produces abnormal noises.

number of your unit. This will be needed should your unit require servicing in the future.
The number is found on a barcode on the right side of the air conditioner and on a similar barcode on the outside of the box the unit came in.
We recommend holding onto the box, but as many people do throw it away, and the air
conditioner itself gets installed in a window, it can be difficult to access this serial number later.
Model number: __________________ (One of the numbers mentioned on the cover
of this manual). Your exact number is found on your box or on the rating label sticker on
the right side of the unit.
