SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Portable Air Conditioner is electronically controlled, which allows precise programming to adjust the room tem- perature. This unit is a small appliance that adjusts the temperature and humidity in a room. It’s flexibility makes it easy to use in different applications and in various rooms. This unit is designed for use in a home, office and comput- er type room. This air conditioner allows you to control the 4 factors that determine optimal comfort in a room.
•Humidity Rate: the humidity in a room also causes a sensation of stifling heat in the summer. Your air conditioner not only cools down the temperature, but dehumidifies the air as well.
•Heater: The air conditioner will function as a heater, releasing warm air into the room.
•Temperature: the main function of an air conditioner is to draw hot air out of the room.
•Airflow: The air conditioner regulates the airflow, allowing the flow to be directed and ensuring optimal air circulation
•The unit will not instantaneously cool down the room once it is turned on. It will take the unit some time to gradually cool down the room.
•Ion Generator: Cleans and freshens the air. Produces Negative Ions For Clean and A Healthy Environment
*Note: Avoid being directly in front of the cold airflow and do not direct it onto people.
Do not install and use your air conditioner before completely reading these instructions. This will help you optimize the operation of your air conditioner.
The following advice and instructions should be followed closely:
1.Your unit must always be used in an upright position because it contains a cooling agent.
2.After unpacking, place the unit upright to allow the cooling agent to stabilize, and wait 3 hours before use.
3.When used for the first time, and every time it is turned on, it takes your unit up to 3 minutes to be operational.
