Air Conditioner Features
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to people or property, read the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance.
NOTICE
- The relative humidity of the room should be less than 80%. If the unit is used in a condition with a relative humidity over 80%, there will be condensed water on the surface of the unit.
- Performance may be reduced outside of these operating temperatures.
NOTICE Always wait 3 minutes when turning the unit off and then on again, or when changing from cool to fan and back to cool. This prevents damage from occurring to the compressor.
To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:
- Plug in the air conditioner (be sure to follow the power cord instructions).
- Turn the power on to the air conditioner, using the ON/OFF button.
- Set the thermostat to the coldest temperature setting.
- Select the Cool mode setting.
- Adjust the louver for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
- Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to the setting you find most comfortable.
- Make sure the air flow inside and outside is not obstructed by anything.
Air Directional Louvers
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow up or down (on some models) and left or right throughout the room as needed. Use the SWING button until the desired up/down direction is obtained. Move the louvers from side to side until the desired left/right direction is obtained.

-
buttons
- Press
button to change temperature setting. - NOTE: Press or hold either button until the desired temperature is shown on the display. This temperature will be automatically maintained anywhere between 60°F (16°C) and 86°F (30°C). If you want the display to read the actual room temperature, see “To Operate on Fan Only” section.”
- Press
- MODE button
- To choose operating mode, press the MODE button. Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a sequence that goes from Heat, Auto, Cool, Dry and Fan. The indicator light beside the button will be illuminated and will remain on once that mode is selected.

- To operate on Auto feature:
- When you set the air conditioner to Auto mode, it will automatically select cooling or fan only operation, depending on what temperature you have selected and the current room temperature.
- The air conditioner will control the roomntemperature automatically based on thentemperature you set.
- In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted, it starts automatically at a speed according to the room temperature.
- To operate on COOL mode:
- Choose Cool Mode to set the cooling function. Use the Up and Down buttons to choose the desired temperature. When Cool Mode is selected, the fan speed can be adjusted by pressing the fan button.
- To operate on Dry mode:
- In this mode, the air conditioner will generally operate as a dehumidifier. Since the conditioned space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will continue. On Dry mode, the fan speed is not adjustable.
- To operate on Fan Only:
- Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air (on some models). (Remember to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you prefer.
- In Fan only mode, the temperature is not adjusted.
- To operate on HEAT mode (Cooling models without):
- Choose Heat Mode to set the heating function. Use the Up and Down buttons to choose the desired temperature. When Heat Mode is selected, the fan speed can be adjusted by pressing the fan button.

DISPLAYS
LED Display:
Shows the set temperature in “°C” or “°F” and the Auto-timer settings. While on Fan Only mode, it shows the room temperature. If the room temperature is too high or low, it will display “ HI” or “ LO”. The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other, press and hold the buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
Error codes:
The unit may stop operation due to a malfunction with the unit. If this occurs, an error code may appear on the display like below. Wait 10 minutes as the problem may resolve itself. If not, disconnect the power, then connect it again. Turn the unit on. If the problem persists, disconnect the power and contact customer service.
Error code appears and begins with the letters as the following in the window display of indoor unit:
EH(xx), EL(xx), EC(xx) , PH(xx), PL(xx), PC(xx)
NOTICE If the unit turns off unexpectedly due to the power being cut, it will automatically restart with the previous function setting when the power resumes.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once every two weeks to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils and reduce performance.
- Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
- Wash the filter using warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
- Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
- Instead of washing, you may also vacuum the filter clean rather than washing.
NOTICE Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.
Cabinet Cleaning
- Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
- Never use harsh cleansers, wax, or polish on the air conditioner.
- Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls will cause damage to the air conditioner.
- Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Be careful not to spill any potentially standing water from the unit’s base pan. If water is present, carefully drain it. Cover the unit with plastic or return it to the original carton.

REMOTE CONTROL AND APP INSTRUCTIONS
Handling the Remote Control
Location of the remote control
Use the remote control within a distance of 26 ft. (8m) from the air conditioner, pointing it towards the unit. The unit will beep when it receives a signal.
CAUTION
- The air conditioner will not operate if curtains, doors or other materials block the signals from the remote control to the unit.
- Prevent any liquid from spilling onto the remote control. Do not expose the remote control to direct sunlight or heat.
- If the infrared signal receiver on the indoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the air conditioner may not function properly. Use curtains to prevent the sunlight from falling on the receiver.
- If other electrical appliances react to the remote control, either move these appliances or consult your local dealer.
Inserting and Replacing Batteries
Your air conditioning unit may come with two batteries (some units). Put the batteries in the remote control before use.
- Slide the back cover from the remote control downward, exposing the battery compartment.
- Insert the batteries, paying attention to match up the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries with the symbols inside the battery compartment.
- Slide the battery cover back into place.
