Using the Air Conditioner

Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions

This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions.

It must not be used when the outdoor temperature is below freezing (32°F).

Control Panel Lights On/Off Feature

This air conditioner has a control panel lights on/off feature where its lights will turn off when there is no activity with the controls for over one minute. To wake up the controls, press any pad on the controls and the lights will come on to show the previous settings.

To turn this feature off, press and hold the SLEEP pad, on the unit, for 5 seconds. The unit will beep to signal the successful toggle of the feature on and off.

Remote Control

  • To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.
  • The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
  • Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
  • Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.

Cool Mode

Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Speed for cooling. Use the temperature Increase +/ Decrease - pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.

An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.

NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.

For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High fan with a lower set temperature.

For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.

Eco Mode

Controls the fan.

ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This may result in wider variations of room temperature and humidity.

NOTE: the fan may continue to run for a short time or may pulse intermittently after the compressor cycles off to sample the room air.

OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.

Fan Only Mode

Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan-only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the display.

Auto Fan Mode

Set to Auto for the fan speed to automatically set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.

If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed will automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.

Air Direction

Use the levers to adjust the air direction left or right. Tilt the louver bank to adjust up and down.

CARE AND CLEANING

Grille and Case

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.

The unit is unplugged.

Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.

The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.

Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.

Power Failure.

The unit will automatically restart in the setting last used after the power is restored.

There is a protective time delay (approximately 3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal cooling for 3 minutesafter it is turned back on.

Turn the temperature control to a higher number.

The air filter is dirty.

Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See Care and Cleaning section.

The room may have been hot.

When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to cool down.

Cold air is escaping.

Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.

Cooling coils have iced up.

See "Air Conditioner freezing up" below.

Air conditioner freezing up

Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.

Set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool with the temperature setting as high as it can be set.

Water drips outside

Hot, humid weather.
