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).
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.
- Remotes 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°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
- 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 ECO 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.
- 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, High or Auto 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 Mode
- 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

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
| Problem | Possible Causes | What To Do |
| Air conditioner does not start |
The air conditioner is unplugged. The fuse is blown/curcuit breaker is tripped. Power failure. The current interrupter device is tripped. |
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet. Check the house fuse/ circuit breaker bos and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. The unit will automatically restart in the settings last used after the power is restored. There is 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 minutes after it is turned back on. Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug. If the RESET button will not sta engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician. |
| Air conditioner does not cool as it should |
Airflow is restricted. The temp control may not be set correctly. The air filter is dirty. The room may not have been not. Cold air is escaping Cooling coils have iced up |
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner In the Cool mode, press the decrease pad. Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Care and Cleaning section. When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to cool down. Check for open furnice registers and cold air returns. 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 controls at High Fan or High Cool and set the thermostat to a higher temperature. |
| The remote control is not working |
The batteries are inserted incorrectly. The batteries may be dead |
Check the position of the batteries. They should be inserted in the opposite (+) and (–) direction. Replace the batteries |
| Water drips outside | Hot, humid weather. | This is normal. |
| Water drips indoors | The air conditioner is not tilted to the outsides | For proper water disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the case front to the rear |
| Water collects in base pan | Moisture removed from the air and drains into base pan. | This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; noirmal for a longer period in very humid areas. |
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.
