What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner?
The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won't cool adequately while one that's too large
will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the square footage
of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by its width. You also need to know the air conditioner's BTU
(British Thermal Unit) rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can remove from a room. A higher Why is the cooling capacity
lower on newer models than on older units? number means more cooling power for a larger room. (Be sure you are comparing
only newer models to each other- older models may appear to have a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to “size
up” if your portable air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a room with high ceilings. After you’ve
found the right cooling capacity for your room, you can look at other features.
Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units?
Federal regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a specific test procedure, which was changed
just this year. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a different procedure and cooling capacity is measured
differently than in prior years’models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of the air conditioners has not
changed.
What is SACC ?
SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE
test procedure at title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC and applicable sampling plans.

FILTER INSTALLATION AND DRAINAGE
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE AIR CONDITIONER WITHOUT THE AIR
FILTER
Your Whynter portable air conditioner is equipped with a washable filter.
This washable filter removes large particles such as dust, pet hair and
dander.
WATER DRAINAGE
The dehumidifying capacity of this unit is 87 pints per day. The patented
self-evaporating function of the ARC-115WG unit fully exhausts all
condensation automatically in most en-vironments when humidity is less
than 70%. Areas with more than 70% humidity, the self-evaporating
function can still exhaust about 98% of the moisture and the remaining
2% of moisture will be collected in the water tank of the air conditioner.
When the water reservoir reaches its maximum level, the water full
indicator light will illuminate and all operation modes will be
disabled temporarily while the fan continuously runs. The water full
indicator light will disappear when the water is completely drained.
Continuous drainage (Fig. A) - optional
Remove the drain cover and soft rubber stopper from the upper drain
port. Install the drain hose (sold separately) through the driven cover.
Thread the drain cover onto the drain port. Place the open end of the
drain hose downward to an area appropriate for draining.
Manual drainage (Fig. B)
Carefully move the unit to a drain location or position a flat container,
dish or optional drain bucket accessory (sold separately) under the drain
area of the lower drain port. Remove the bottom drain plug and let the
water drain. Replace the drain plug and plug in to resume operation.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER
The appliance can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the POWER button on the control panel or the ON/OFF button on the remote
control
COOLING MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE
button until the COOL indicator light comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes.
In cooling mode, hot air is exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust hose must be connected to exhaust out the
hot air. The temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 61°F / 16°C to 89°F / 32°C. To set the temperature, press the +
or - buttons. This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient
temperature, the unit runs on fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner. To set
the fan speed, press the FAN button.
NOTE: In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the fan speeds is not very noticeable when the compressor is on. Try
setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.
DRY (DEHUMIDIFYING) ONLY MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner only dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient
temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the DRY indicator light is
displayed. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidi-
fying mode, the exhaust hose does not need to be vented. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifies.
To prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be recirculated into the
room. If room temperature is higher than 77°F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If room temperature is lower than 77°F, the fan
speed is set at Low.
NOTE: When using dehumidifying mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required. If vented, the warm air is exhaust-
ed to the outside and cooling within the room may occur. Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more
frequent draining. Also, the air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set.
FAN ONLY MODE
In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air in the room. To activate this function mode, press the
MODE button until the FAN indicator light comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the
desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button. When using FAN only mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is optional.
TIMER (DELAYED SWITCH ON / OFF) FUNCTION
This function mode enables a delayed switch ON or delayed switch OFF of the air conditioner. The time (hours) delay can be set,
enabled and disabled.
SETTING SWITCH OFF TIMER
With the air conditioner operating in any function mode, press the TIMER button. The TIMER OFF light will come on. Then set
the desired time delay OFF hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours,
fol-lowed by 1 hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches off. To cancel
the delayed switch off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.
SETTING DELAYED SWITCH ON TIMER
With the air conditioner is off, press the TIMER button. The TIMER ON light will come on. Then set the desired time delay ON
hours by pressing the UP and DOW N buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hour to up to 10 hours, followed by 1 hour
increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches on. To cancel the delayed switch on
function, turn on the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SLEEP MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in cooling mode, decreases the noise level and conserves
energy. The temperature will then increase by another 1°C/ 1°F after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will remain
the same for 7 hours. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button until the SLEEP indicator light comes on.
AUTO RESTART
In the event of a power outage, the air conditioner restarts at the previously set function mode and settings when power is re-
stored.
CONTROLLING THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION
The louvers can be controlled to Auto-Swing or in a fixed direction. To control the air flow direction by Auto-Swing, press the
SWING button. To set the louvers in a fixed angle or direction, press SWING button while on Auto-Swing mode when desired angle
is chosen.
NOISE LEVEL
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
COMPRESSOR LOCK OUT
This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 61°F - 95°F (16°C - 35°C). The
compressor circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents over-
heating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
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.
• 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
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for long periods

TIPS
1. Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible.
The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp bends or
twists to maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9'.
2. Turn the air conditioner on early.
Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be more
effective. The air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the room down and maintain the set temperature.
3. Reduce heat sources.
Direct sunlight, televisions, computers, and other heat generating appliances work against the air conditioner by
introducing heat into the space.
- Close window curtains and blinds to keep direct sunlight out
- Close doors and windows
- Keep ovens and stoves off
- Turn off unused lights
- Add weather stripping around windows and doors
4. Keep the air filter clean.
Regular cleaning will help keep your air conditioner working properly. Dusty filters and vents greatly reduce the airflow
and efficiency of the unit.
- Clean the washable filter regularly
- Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents
