SPECIAL NOTE: The exhaust/window kit must be installed at all times when the unit is operating under AIR CONDITIONING mode.

4)Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room. Use of the automatic start/stop programmable TIMER feature can be a major asset in this regard if utilized to the fullest extent.

5)When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE on HIGH, MED or LOW. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort and utilizes less electricity.

There should be at least 11.8" (30 cm) clearance between the unit and any other objects or building structure and should be installed on a level surface. The unit does not have to be vented outside during Dehumidifying/Fan mode operation, but it is recommended that the hoses remain installed (on unit) during Dehumidification.
