Thank You

Thank you for purchasing an EdgeStar portable air conditioner. It should provide you with years of reliable cooling. Among other features, this versatile unit exhausts all the condensate that it extracts from your air. Additionally, this portable air conditioner features auto restart. If power to the unit is interrupted, the unit “remembers” its previous settings when power is restored.

In order to properly use all features of this portable air conditioner, please read this owner’s manual prior to use and store the owner’s manual for future reference. It is also a good idea to save the box and packaging for this portable air conditioner for off-season storage.

Energy Saving Tips

1.Use the portable air conditioner for the recommended room size. Rooms that are too small can cause the unit to short cycle and work inefficiently. Rooms that are too large will never cool completely.

2.Be careful not to obstruct the air flow coming out of the portable air conditioner. A powerful, unobstructed airflow is crucial for optimum cooling.

3.Keep blinds and curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.

4.Clean the pre-filter often.

5.Close your fireplace damper, floor grills, and wall grills to prevent cool air from escaping.

6.Avoid opening doors frequently.

7.Note that each additional person in room adds between 100-150 BTU of heat, so the more people in a room, the more cooling capacity is required.

8.Set the portable air conditioner to maximum cooling and high speed airflow when you first start it up, and then adjust the unit to a comfortable setting.

9.To provide cooling to a room, this portable air conditioner must always be used with its exhaust hose attached.

Notes

The portable air conditioner must be plugged into an appropriate power outlet. Refer to the rating label on the back of the unit for more information.

The portable air conditioner is a compressor-driven cooling system. The air conditioner has an anti-overheating safety feature that delays the compressor from starting for three minutes after the air conditioner turns on or when a mode change is made. If the compressor does not immediately start, it is likely because of this feature.

To protect the compressor from overheating or freezing, it will only operate when the ambient temperature is between 64° and 100°F.

In the Cooling or Dehumidifying modes the exhaust hose must be used.

When switching into the Cooling mode, cooling may be temporarily delayed as the unit cools down.
