If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Prior to cleaning or other maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains.
Do not remove any fixed covers. Never use this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been
dropped or damaged.
To prevent death or injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be
followed. Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause death, harm or damage.
Installation must be performed according to the installation instructions. Improper installation can cause water
leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
Use only the included accessories and parts, and specified tools for the installation. Using non-standard parts can
cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire, and injury or property damage. Make sure that the outlet you are using is
grounded and has the appropriate voltage.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to protect against shock.
Voltage information can be found on the nameplate of the unit.
Your unit must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not
adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker (the fuse or circuit breaker needed is
determined by the maximum current of the unit. The maximum current is indicated on the nameplate located on
unit), have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
Install the unit on a flat, sturdy surface. Failure to do so could result in damage or excessive noise and vibration. The
unit must be kept free from obstruction to ensure proper function and to mitigate safety hazards.
Do not modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
Do not share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause fire or electrical
shock.

NOISE LEVEL
AUTO RESTART
COMPRESSOR LOCK OUT
Portable air conditioners may make sounds that are not familiar to you. The sounds listed below are normal. Noise
reflecting off hard surfaces such as a floor or wall can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound
Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound
Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound
Fan sound may come from front and back air vents
This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 64°F-90°F. The compressor circuit
has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the
compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
In the event of a power outage, the air conditioner restarts at the previously set function mode and settings when
power is re-stored.
I SENSE FEATURE
The remote control functions as a thermostat, ensuring precise temperature control. It integrates an efficient sensor
and activates the I SENSE feature with a dedicated button. Once activated, it transmits temperature signals to the air
conditioner every 3 minutes, canceling if inactive for 7 minutes.
NOTE: Not applicable in DRY and FAN mode. Changing modes or turning off the unit disables the feature. Requires
the remote within 26 feet of the indoor unit for optimal function.
Page 13
background
The portable air conditioner can be switched on by the remote control. To transmit signals from the remote control
to the air conditioner, point the front part of the remote handset towards the control panel on the air conditioner.
Reception of the signal is confirmed by a beep. The maximum signal transmission distance is approximately 8
meters/26 feet.
NOTE:
Other appliances in the same room controlled by a remote control (TV, radio, stereo, etc.), may cause
interferences
Electronic and fluorescent lamps may interfere with the signal transmissions between the remote control and
the air conditioner

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.
DO NOT use flammable liquids or chemicals to clean the unit.
DO NOT wash the unit under running water. Doing so causes electrical danger.
DO NOT operate the portable air conditioner if the power supply was damaged during cleaning. A damaged
power cord must be replaced with a new cord. Contact Whynter Customer Support for more information.
REPLACING THE REMOTE BATTERIES
This remote control comes with two AAA batteries. Place the batteries in the remote
control before use.
Slide the back cover from the remote downward to expose the battery compartment.1.
Insert the batteries, ensure to match the (+) and (-) symbols on the ends of the
batteries with the symbols inside the battery compartment.
2.
Slide the battery cover back into place. 3.
Notes:
The air conditioner will not respond if curtains, doors, or other materials block the signal from the remote
control to the unit.
Prevent any liquid from contact with 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WATER DRAINAGE
When the internal drain pan becomes full the appliance will beep 8 times
and the digital display will show error code P1. The air conditioning or
dehumidifying action will stop but the fan may continue to operate.
Ensure that the appliance is turned off and unplugged and that it is close
to a floor drain or to an external container.
A. Manual Drain Plug
Remove the drain plug and allow the collected condensation to drain
completely into a shallow external container. Replace the bottom manual
drain plug, pressing firmly to ensure a tight fit and no leaks.
B. Continuous Gravity Drain
During dry mode, install continuous drain option so that the appliance
will automatically drain collected water. Remove the upper drain plug and
attach the included drain hose. Place the open end of the drain hose over
the receptacle that the appliance will drain into; this could be a basement
floor drain, a sink, or similar. Ensure that there are no kinks or bends in
the drain hose and that it goes straight down toward the floor. The
continuous drain is activated by gravity only. If the hose is not positioned
directly downwards, water will not drain correctly.
C. Heat pump drainage (for ARC-1050XPH only)
This unit has a condensate pump feature that can pump out (and up)
water through the included drain hose for continuous water removal
during HEAT Mode. Remove the heat pump drain plug from the back of
the unit and install the drain hose. Place the open end of the hose to a
drain area.
NOTE: The condensate pump will only engage during Heat mode and
will not work in any other modes. Pump drain hose is required to be
installed when using in Heat Mode. To reduce pump drain noise, make
sure to attach the drain hose adapter to the open end of the drain hose.
