Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used in freezing outdoor conditions.
Remote Control
- To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.
- Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
- The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
- Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.
- Remote contains a magnet allowing it to attach to metal surfaces.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase / Decrease pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°℉ 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 andHigh fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling - Select the Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.
Energy Saver Mode
This mode optimizes the cooling power of your air conditioner, thereby saving you energy. Once the set point temperature has been reached, the fan will cycle off to save energy. The fan will cycle back on periodically to insure all cooling capacity in the system is used. This mode is the default mode for the unit. Each time the unit is powered off, it will restart in Energy Saver mode ON. This includes Delay timer mode. The first time the unit is turned on, the settings will be 70° and Low fan. You can adjust the fan speed and temperature to your personal comfort.
Energy Saver ON - Helps minimize electricity use. It is normal for the fan to cycle off and then back on in this mode. This on/off cycle can repeat multiple times. Because the fan will cycle off, you may notice a variation in room temperature and humidity.
Energy Saver OFF - When this mode is not engaged, the fan will run continuously, and in Cool mode the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain room temperature.
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.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only Mode.
Auto Fan Speed
Set to Auto fan speed 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.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only Mode.
Control Display On and Off
To reduce brightness during sleeping hours, this air conditioner control display has an automatic off feature where the control display will turn off completely after 2 minute of inactivity. To illuminate the control interface, press any button on the control display or remote control. The control display will illuminate all previously illuminated LED's. The control interface will now respond to any prescribed button press after it is illuminated.
Power Outage Recovery Feature
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the unit will automatically restart in the settings last used after the power is restored. If the Delay 1-24hr feature was set, it will resume countdown. You may need to set a new time if desired.
Air Direction
Use the lever to adjust the air direction left and right only.
CARE AND CLEANING
Grille and Case
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Normal Operating Sounds
- You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
- You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
- Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.
- The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
- Water droplets being thrown against the outside coils can make a pinging noise. This helps cool the condenser. You can reduce this noise by removing the side-base water hole seal by removing 2 screws, then hole seal. Removing this seal will lower the EnergyEfficiency of your until.
NOTE: Do not drill hole in the base pan.
