FUNCTION BUTTONS

POWER CONTROL

Press to turn ON/OFF the unit. The air vent will automatically swing open when the unit is turned ON and automatically close when the unit is turned OFF.

RESTART DELAY

If the unit turns OFF while operating in COOL mode, there will be an approx. 3-minute delay to restart the air conditioner in COOL mode. This is a safety feature and added to help protect and extend the life of the compressor. After 3 minutes, you will be able to turn ON the unit as usual.

FAN SPEED CONTROL

3 settings: High, Medium, and Low.

Note: Fan Speed cannot be adjusted in Sleep Mode and Dehumidifying Mode.

MODE CONTROL

Settings: Air Conditioning, Dehumidifying, Fan, Heating*.
The corresponding indicator light will illuminate to indicate the current mode setting.

• Air Conditioning Mode (COOL)
  Adjust fan speed and air temperature to suit your desired comfort level. Temperature setting range is 60°F - 90°F (16°C - 32°C).
• Dehumidifying Mode (DRY)
  Air is dehumidified as it passes through the unit, without being in full cooling mode. The fan speed is preset as LOW speed and can NOT be adjusted.

Note: If the unit will be used mainly as a dehumidifier, do not connect the exhaust hose. Continuous drainage is then necessary (refer to Continuous Draining for Dehumidifier Mode).

IMPORTANT: The Dehumidifier Mode is used to support moisture reduction but should not be expected to dehumidify to the same degree as a standard dehumidifier only appliance. The built-in dehumidifier automatically adjusts dehumidification based on ambient room temperatures. It is not possible to adjust to a desired humidity percentage. The front display only shows the current and desired temperatures. It does not show humidity levels.

• Fan Mode
  For air circulation without air conditioner cooling.
• Heating Mode*
  When heating mode is selected the indicator light will shine. Heating is activated only when the ambient temperature is below 77°F (25°C). In this mode, the desired temperature can be set between 61°F - 77°F (16°C- 25°C).

Note: The exhaust hoses must vent outside the room when using heating mode.

IMPORTANT: The Heat pump draws moisture from the air which then condenses into the internal water tank. The unit will pause operation when the tank is full and will restart when the tank has been emptied. It is recommended to use the Heating Mode in a room with 50% humidity or lower. Avoid operating moisture-producing products or appliances such as a humidifier or a kettle when using the unit in Heating Mode. See the “Draining Water Condensation in Heat Mode” section for more information on draining the water tank.

TIMER / TEMPERATURE SET CONTROLS

The - and + buttons can be used to adjust and set your desired temperature in Cooling or Heating* modes. They can also be used to set the Timer (see "Timer Control" below).

Note: Temperature and Timer cannot be adjusted in Fan and Dehumidify modes.

SLEEP MODE

Sleep Mode is for energy-saving comfort during the night. When Sleep Mode is ON in Air Conditioning Cooling Mode, the fan will automatically stay on LOW Speed and the set temperature will increase by 1°F (1°C) on the first hour. It will increase another 1°F (1°C) on the second hour, and remain at this temperature for the rest of the night, until Sleep Mode is deactivated.

Note: The control panel lights will turn OFF after 10 seconds and light up again when any button is pressed. When Sleep Mode is ON in Heating Mode*, the fan will automatically stay on LOW Speed and the set temperature will decrease by 1°F (1°C) on the first hour. It will decrease another 1°F (1°C) on the second hour, and remain at this temperature for the rest of the night, until Sleep Mode is deactivated.

TIMER CONTROL

While the unit is turned on, press the timer button then press the - or + to select the number of hours you would like the unit to continue to run. The unit will turn on/off automatically.

AUTO TURN OFF:
While unit is running, press the - or + button to select the number of hours you want the unit to run in air conditioning mode.

AUTO TURN ON:
When unit is in a standby mode (plugged in with power light on), then press the - or + button to select the number of hours until you want the unit to automatically start running.

SWING CONTROL

Press to activate automatic oscillation of louvers. Press again to stop swing when louvers reached a desired angle.

WATER FULL LIGHT

Condensation may accumulate in the unit.

If the internal tank becomes full, the Water Full Light will illuminate and unit will beep 5 times for 5 seconds. The unit will not operate until the unit has been drained (refer to Water Condensation Drainage).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

AUTOMATIC DEFROST FEATURE
Sometimes when the unit is operating in cooling mode in lower room temperatures (e.g. lower than 60°F), the internal cooling coils may become too cold and sometimes frost may develop on the cooling coils. When this happens, the unit will automatically pause operation and defrost the cooling coils to protect the unit. The air conditioner will restart automatically when the system has defrosted and returns to standard operational temperatures.

REMOTE CONTROL

All key functions can be accessed from the remote control.

Note: Battery Installation: Remove the cover on the back of the remote control and insert two AAA batteries with + and - pointing in the proper direction according to the polarity markings.

Caution:

• Use only two AAA or IEC R03 1.5V batteries.

WATER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE

When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and shows a warning light (the WATER FULL indicator illuminates with a red light). This indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:

Manual Draining in Cooling, Dehumidifying Modes
Water may need to be drained in high humidity areas.

1. Unplug the unit from power source.
2. Place a drain pan under the lower rubber drain plug.
   See diagram.
3. Remove the drain plug cap.
4. Water will drain out and collect in the shallow pan.
5. After the water is drained, replace the drain plug cap.
6. You can now turn on the unit.

Continuous Draining in Dehumidifier Mode
While using the unit in dehumidifier mode, continuous drainage is recommended.

1. Unplug the unit from power source.
2. Remove the upper drain plug cap.
   Some residual water may spill so please have a pan to collect the water.
3. Connect the drain tube to the upper drain plug.
   See diagram.
4. The water can be continuously drained through the drain tube into a floor drain or bucket.
5. Replace the drain plug cap.
6. You can now turn on the unit.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended to connect the drain hose for continuous drainage while the unit is switched ON in air conditioning cooling mode. Doing so will reduce the cooling efficiency of the Portable Air Conditioner. Only drain the water condensation when the unit is switched off. Continuous drainage is only suitable when the unit is set up in Dehumidifier mode.

The water cannot be drained using the continuous drain option in heating* mode. In Heating mode, the internal water tank collects condensation faster and may require more frequent emptying of the tank in more humid rooms. It is recommended to use the heating mode in a room with 50 % humidity or lower. Avoid operating moisture-creating products or appliances such as a humidifier or a kettle when using the unit in heating mode.
