OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER

Remove the exterior and interior packaging.

Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER

The unit can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the Power button on the control panel or the Power button on the remote control.

COOLING MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function

mode, press the Mode Control button until the indicator comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes.

NOTE: In cooling mode, hot air is exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust hose must be connected to exhaust out the hot air.

The temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 61°F to 89°F. To set the temperature, press the + or - buttons. This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs on fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner. Once the set temperature is achieved, the fan runs continuously.

To set the fan speed, press the Fan Speed button. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 3 fan speeds is not very noticeable when the compressor is on. Try setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner only dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To

activate this function mode, press the Mode Control button until the indicator comes on. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidifying mode, do not connect the exhaust hose and let the warm air return to the room. If room temperature is higher than 77°F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If room temperature is lower than 77°F, the fan speed is set at Low.

NOTE: When using the Dehumidifying mode, the air exhaust hose should not be vented to the outside. If the warm air is exhausted to the outside, cooling may occur. Additionally, you must manually drain the water from the unit.

FAN ONLY MODE

In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air in the room. To

activate this function mode, press the Mode Control button until the indicator comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the Fan Speed button. Fan Only mode requires that the exhaust hose be removed.

ARC-143MX specifications

The Whynter ARC-143MX is an innovative portable air conditioner designed to provide efficient cooling and versatile functionality in a compact unit. This model stands out in the market for its powerful features and advanced technology, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

One of the hallmark features of the Whynter ARC-143MX is its impressive cooling capacity, which can effectively cool spaces up to 500 square feet. The unit operates with a cooling power of 14,000 BTU, making it suitable for large rooms, open areas, and even commercial environments. This means users can enjoy a comfortable climate even during the hottest days of summer.

In addition to its cooling capabilities, the ARC-143MX also boasts a 3-in-1 functionality. It serves not only as an air conditioner but also as a dehumidifier and a fan. The dehumidifying mode is particularly noteworthy, as it can remove up to 101 pints of moisture from the air within a 24-hour period. This feature helps alleviate the discomfort caused by humidity, providing a more pleasant indoor environment.

The dual-hose system is another significant technological advantage of the ARC-143MX.

One hose draws air from outside to cool the condenser, while the other hose expels hot air, resulting in faster cooling and energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency is further enhanced by the unit’s advanced technology. The Whynter ARC-143MX features a remote control, allowing users to adjust settings from a distance easily. It also includes programmable timers and multiple cooling modes, enabling customized comfort based on individual preferences.

Mobility is a key characteristic of the Whynter ARC-143MX, as it is equipped with caster wheels for easy movement from one room to another. Its sleek design allows it to blend seamlessly into various décor styles while maintaining functionality.
