Operation

Control Panel

Mode Control

The Mode Control has three settings:

Cool • Dehumidify • Fan

The settings are adjusted with Mode Control button. A light will indicate which setting is currently being used.

Cooling Mode

Note:The air exchange hoses must vent outside the room when using cool mode.

Dehumidify Mode

When dehumidify mode is selected, the indicator light turns yellow. Air is dehumidified as it passes through the unit, without being in full cooling mode. If room temperature is higher than 77 degree Fahrenheit, fan speed can be adjusted; otherwise fan speed is fixed to " Low ".

Note:If the unit is to be used as a dehumidifier, do not connect the exhaust hose let the warm air return to the room. Continuous drainage is then necessary.

Remove the excess water from the filter by gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped in the filter. After cleaning, reinstall the filter. DO NOT use your air conditioner without the air filter in place.
• To clean the cabinet, DO NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your air conditioner.
• Always use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild soap and water solution to wipe the front of the cabinet. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Storage

• To store your air conditioner when not in use for a long period of time, drain condensed water using the drain pipe. Remove exhaust hose, clean the filters, cover with plastic bag and store.
