- Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
- Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase (+/^)/ Decrease (-/v) pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: Do not operate in freezing outdoor conditions. The cool mode function on this air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used when the outdoor temperature is below freezing (32°F).
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to stat and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.
Eco Mode
Controls the fan.
ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This may result in wider variations of room temperature and humidity.
NOTE: the fan may continue to run for a short time or may pulse intermittently after the compressor cycles off to sample the room air.
OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.
NOTE: Do not operate in freezing outdoor conditions. The eco mode function on this air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used when the outdoor temperature is below freezing (32°F).
Fan Only Mode
Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan-only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the display.
Auto Fan Mode
Set to Auto for the fan speed to automatically set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.
If the room needs more cooling or heating, the fan speed will automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling or heating, the fan speed will automatically decrease.
Heat Mode
Use the Heat mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed for heating. Use the Temperature Increase (+/^)/Decrease (-/v) pads to set the desired temperature between 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments. An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort.
