Remote Control

Energy Saver In this mode the compressor and fan turn off when the set temperature is achieved. Approximately every 3 minutes the fan turns on to allow the unit sensor to accurately determine if more cooling is needed

Cool This mode is ideal on hot days to cool and dehumidify the room quickly. Use the Temp buttons to set the desired room temperature and use the Fan Speed button to set the desired fan circulation speed.

Fan In this mode the fan circulates air but the compressor does not run. Use the Fan Speed button to set fan speed to High, Medium or Low. In this mode, you cannot adjust the set temperature.

Dry This mode is ideal for rainy and damp days to dehumidify the room rather than cooling it significantly. Humidity is removed from the room by the combination of compressor operation and the fan speed. fixed at Low. The compressor and fan turn off once the set temperature is reached.
Fan speed cannot be adjusted in Dry mode.

Additional Features

Slinger Fan

This air conditioner is equipped with a slinger fan. (See drawing.)

The fan's outer ring picks up the condensed water from the base pan if the water level gets high enough. The water is then picked up by the fan and expelled through the condenser. making the air conditioner more efficient.

Maintainance

Air Filter

Check the air fiter at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and block the airflow. reducing cooling capacity and causing an accumulation of frost on the evaporator.

Cleaning the Air Filter

1. Remove the air filter from the front grille by pulling the fiter forward and then up slightly.

2. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 °C (104 °F).

3. Gently shake the excess water from the filter and replace.

Cleaning the Air Conditioner

Wipe the front grille and inlet grille with a cloth dampened in a mild detergent solution.

Wash the cabinet with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. then polish using liquid appliance wax.

NOTE

To ensure continued peak efficiency. the condenser coils (outside of unit) should be checked periodically and cleaned if clogged with soot or dirt from outside air.

For repair and maintenance. contact an Authorized Service Center. See the warranty page for details or call 1-800-243-0000. Have your model number and serial number available. They should be written on page 23 of this manual.

Troubleshooting
