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.

NOTE: The unit does not need to be vented in Fan Only mode.
