POWER CORD

• TEST: When th is button is pressed or when there is a current leak, the unit will not operate.
• RESET: After resolving the problem, press the reset button to resume operation.

Operation

NOTE: Wait 24 hours before turning on the air conditioner if the unit has been tilted for any reason. This allows the oils and the coolants to settle and level off.

BEFORE USE

1. Use an 1 15V, 15Amp outlet for the air conditioner. Do not use any other electrical appliances on this line or you may trip the fuse. Use a dedicated line for this air conditioner.
2. Do not place the air conditioner in direct sunlight or close to any heating appliances (ie., baseboard heaters, stoves, etc.)
3. Operate on a flat surface only.
4. Keep the unit free of any obstructions such as drapes, curtains, blinds, etc.
5. Keep unit at least 1 foot away from the wall.

DURING USE

1. When turning on the unit for the first time after plugging it into an electrical outlet, the unit will start in a high fan cooling mode. The temperature display on the LED will show the current room temperature. When turning on the unit during regular usage, it will remember the last setting used. If you want to operate the air conditioner as a dehumidifier, then adjust to dehumidification mode.
2. After a normal shut down, wait for 3 minutes before restarting the unit so as to complete the compressor cycle.
3. In cooling mode, this portable air conditioner should not require water to be removed. The unit has a unique design which continuously evaporates the water. In heating mode, or when the unit is operated in high humidity conditions, you may need to empty the water tank periodically. The unit will shut down automatically when the water tank is full and the "Tank Full" warning light will turn on.
4. To empty the water tank: Place a shallow pan (not included) below the lower drain located on the back of the unit (near the bottom of the air conditioner), remove plug, and drain the water tank completely. Re-insert the drain plug. You will then be able to restart your portable air conditioner.
5. Check and clean the filter once every week for highest efficiency.

NOTE: Do not operate unit without filter.

AFTER USE

• If the unit is not being used for a long period of time, drain the water from the water tank. Please see step 4 of the "During Use" section above for more information.

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.

Care and Cleaning Guide

• Always unplug your air conditioner before cleaning.
• Air filter needs to be cleaned at least once a week for your unit to operate at optimum efficiency. Slide out the filter from the back by pulling on the tab. The filter may be washed or vacuumed. 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 being used for a long period of time, drain the water tank as described on page 6 under the "During Use" section, step 4. Remove exhaust hose, clean the filters, cover with plastic bag and store away.

Troubleshooting

If air conditioner does not operate:

• Check if unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.
• Press "Reset" button on the plug to resume operation.
• Check if the electrical wall receptacle is the proper voltage.
• Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs to be replaced.
• Check if the unit is in "Off" mode.
• If the warning light is on, drain the water drain pipe by removing the plug.

Air conditioner working but room not cooling:

• Room may have appliances that produce heat. Use an exhaust fan to remove excess heat.
• Check exhaust hose for proper installation.
• Redirect the airflow. Remove any obstacles.
• All doors and windows need to be closed so that cool air does not escape the room.
• Air filter may be blocked or may need cleaning.
• Unit BTU may be too low for the required cooling area.
• On extremely hot & humid days, air conditioners may take a little longer to cool.
• Drain the water drain pipe by removing the plug.
• Unit may be in fan or dry mode. Put air conditioner in cool mode.

Tank Full Warning Light Is On:

• Unit will shut down when the water pan is full. This condition may occur either when the unit is operated in high humidity conditions, or when the unit is operated in HEAT MODE, since the auto-evaporation function will not work in the heating mode. See instructions in the "Operation" section under "During use".
