This new temperature will be maintained for 7 hours before returning to the originally selected temperature. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed.
NOTE
This feature is unavailable in FAN or DRY mode.
Other Features
FOLLOW ME/TEMP SENSING
Feature (optional)
NOTE
This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY. The remote control serves as a remote thermostat allowing for the precise temperature control at its location.
To activate the Follow Me/Temp Sensing feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the Follow Me/Temp Sensing button. The remote display is actual temperature at its location. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes until the Follow Me/Temp Sensing button is pressed again. If the unit does not receive the Follow Me/Temp Sensing signal for 7 minutes, the unit will beep to indicate the Follow Me/Temp Sensing mode has ended.
AUTO-RESTART
If the unit shuts off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will restart with the previously set function automatically when the power resumes.
WAIT 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESUMING OPERATION
After the unit has stopped, it cannot be restarted until 3 minutes have elapsed. This is to protect the unit. Operation will automatically resume after 3 minutes.
AIRFLOW DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT
The louver can be adjusted automatically, which also automatically adjusts the airflow direction.
NOTE
On some models the louver can be adjusted manually only):
• When the Power is ON, the louver opens fully.
• Press the SWING button on the panel or remote control to initiate the Auto Swing feature. The louver will swing up and down automatically.
• If your unit has these features, please do not adjust the louver manually.
• If your unit does not have these features, the louvers may only be adjusted manually
Water drainage
• During dehumidifying modes, remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit and install the drain connector (5/8” universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (locally purchased). For models without drain connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in your basement floor.
• During heat pump mode, remove the lower drain plug from the back of the unit and install the drain connector (5/8” universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (locally purchased). For models without drain connector, just attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the hose adaptor directly over the drain area in your basement floor.
NOTE
Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will impede water flow. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is directed downward to let the water flow smoothly. (See Figs with
). Installation not recommended. (See Figs with
). When the continuous drain hose is not used, ensure that the corresponding drain plug and knob are installed firmly to prevent leakage.
• When the water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times. The digital display shows “P1.” At this time the air conditioning/ dehumidification process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the water drain away. Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the “P1” symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.
NOTE
Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug firmly to prevent leakage before using the unit.
Installation Instructions
Choosing the Right Location
Your installation location should meet the following requirements:
• Make sure that you install your unit on an even surface to minimize noise and vibration.
• The unit must be installed near a grounded plug, and the Collection Tray Drain (found on the back of the unit) must be accessible.

Timer Functions
Your air conditioning unit has two timer-related functions: TIMER ON - sets the amount of time after which the unit will automatically turn on.
TIMER OFF - sets the amount of time after which the unit will automatically turn off.
TIMER ON function
The TIMER ON function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn on, such as when you come home from work.
1. Press the TIMER ON button. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will appear on the display.
NOTE
This number indicates the amount of time you want to elapse before the unit turns on. For example, if you set the TIMER ON for 2 hours, “2.0h” will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn on after 2 hours.
2. Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly to set the time that you want the unit to turn on.
3. Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER ON function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.
TIMER OFF function
The TIMER OFF function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn off, such as when you wake up.
1. Press the TIMER OFF button. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will appear on the display.
NOTE
This number indicates the amount of time you want to elapse before the unit turns off. For example, if you set the TIMER OFF for 2 hours, “2.0h” will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn off after 2 hours
2. Press the TIMER OFF button repeatedly to set the time that you want the unit to turn off.
3. Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER OFF function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display.
NOTE
When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF functions, up to 10 hours, the time will increase in 30 minute increments with each press. After 10 hours and up to 24, it will increase in 1 hour increments. The timer will revert to zero after 24 hours.
You can turn off either function by setting the timer to “0.0h“.
Setting both TIMER ON and TIMER OFF at the same time
Keep in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time.
For example, say that the current time is 1:00 PM, and you want the unit to turn on automatically at 7:00 PM and want it to operate for 2 hours, then automatically turn off at 9:00 PM.
Do the following (side figure):” – change to say “Follow the illustration to the left: Example: Setting the unit to turn on after 6 hours, operate for 2 hours, then turn off (see the figure below)
