• 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.

Constant Fan button

In cooling or Dry mode, press the button for 3 seconds to turn on or off the constant fan function. When the function is turned on, the constant fan light will illuminate, identifying the fan continuous run for cooling. When the function is turned off, the constant fan light will go out, identifying the fan cycle run with compressor stop.

AUTO-RESTART

If the unit breaks off unexpectedly due to the power cut, it will restart with the previous function setting 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 start after 3 minutes.

AIRFLOW DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the air flow direction manually:

• The louver can be set to the desired position manually.
• Do not place any heavy objects or other loads on the louver, doing so will cause damage to the unit.
• Keep the louver fully opened during operation.

Water drainage

• During dehumidifying modes, remove the 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.

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 stop the water flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is down to let the water flow smoothly. When the continuous drain hose is not used, ensure that the 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.
