INTRODUCTION
WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING A PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER?
The right air condioner helps you cool a room eciently. An undersized unit won't cool adequately while one that's too large will not remove
enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To nd the proper air condioner, determine the square footage of the room y ou want to cool by
mulplying the room length by its width. You also need to know the air condioner's BTU (Brish Thermal Unit) rang, which indicates the
amount of heat it can remove from a room. Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units? A higher 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 condioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a
room with high ceilings. Aer 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 OLDER MODELS?
Federal regulaons require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a specic test procedure, which was changed just this year.
Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a dierent procedure and cooling capacity is measured dierently than in previous models.
So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of the air condioners has not changed.
WHAT IS SACC?
SACC is the representave value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at
tle 10 Code of Federal Regulaons (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC and applicable sampling plans.

INTRODUCTION TO INVERTER TECHNOLOGY
As pioneers in the air comfort space, we are introducing next generaon technology currently used only in high eciency ductless mini-split air
condioners. The Inverter technology will be featured in our NEX line of portable air condioners. By ulizing this much more ecient technolo-
gy, Whynter’s Inverter variable-speed system allows the compressor to opmize eciency and power consumpon together, while maintaining
a specied output.
This allows for a much quieter operaon and signicantly reduced energy con-
sumpon. The Inverter technology system potenally reduces energy usage by
more than 40% while the new hose-in-hose design delivers more than double
the cooling output. Below are the advantages of inverter technology:
• At least 40% - 50% cheaper to run as it consumes less power
• Quicker to achieve desired temperature
• Quieter operaon
• No temperature uctuaons
• No voltage peaks from compressor
HOSE-IN-HOSE COOLING SETUP
The innovave two-hose in one design and the sealed boom structure ensure no
heat leakage. This cooling setup extracts and exhausts air from the outdoor, so the
indoor space reaches an independent and balanced cool air circulaon. As a result,
the enre room can be cooled down quickly and eecvely.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Remove the exterior and interior packing
• Before connecng the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possi-
bility of a malfuncon in the cooling system from handling during transportaon
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 condioner cools and dehumidies the room. To acvate this funcon mode, press the MODE
buon unl 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 seng range of this air condioner is from 60°F / 16°C to 86°F / 30°C. To set the temperature,
press the + or - buons. This air condioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambi-
ent temperature, the unit runs on fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air condioner.
To set the fan speed, press the FAN buon. In cooling mode, the dierence in noise level between the fan speeds is not very no-
ceable when the compressor is on. Try seng the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the dierence between high
and low fan speed sengs.
DRY (DEHUMIDIFYING) ONLY MODE
In this mode, the air condioner only dehumidies the room, the compressor will acvate intermiently depending on the ambient
temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To acvate this funcon mode, press the MODE buon unl the DRY indicator light
is displayed. Please note that when switching funcon mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transion me. 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 dehumid ies.
To prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be re-circulated 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, venng 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. Addionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more
frequent draining. Also, the air condioner does not have a humidistat in which a specic humidity level can be set.
AUTOMATIC MODE
When you set the air condioner in AUTO mode, it will automacally select cooling or fan only operaon depending on what
temperature you have selected and the room temperature is close to the unit. The fan speed is automacally selected and cannot
be changed .To operate the unit in Auto mode when the unit is on, press the MODE button until the AUTO indicator light comes on.
HEAT MODE (*only for ARC-1230WNH)
