PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER USE

Operating your portable air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.

This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not stay in direct airflow from the air conditioner for extended periods of time.
• Never use in tightly enclosed spaces. Always ensure there is sufficient airflow of outside air entering the household especially when used in conjunction with combustible devices such as gas stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, hot water heaters etc. Do not place the power cord or air conditioner near a heater, radiator, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• This air conditioner is intended for household use as a residential appliance. Do not use it as a precision climate control for commercial use, or for precision equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, etc.
• Do not block or obstruct the exhaust vent hose as it may severely affect performance, or cause failure of the air conditioner.
• The air conditioner display shows the current room temperature.
• When changing modes while the air conditioner is in operation, the compressor will stop for 3 to 5 minutes before restarting. If a button is pressed during this time, the compressor will not restart for another 3 to 5 minutes.
• In Cooling or Dry mode, the compressor and condenser fan will stop when the room temperature reaches the set temperature.
• On Dry mode, the humidity level is automatically set, but is not able to be displayed.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Air conditioner will not operate

■ The power supply cord is unplugged.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. See "electrical Requirements."

■ Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is being used.

Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the correct capacity. See "electrical Requirements".

■ The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has

popped out).

Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and remain in) to resume operation.

■ A household fuse has blown, or a circuit breaker has tripped.

Replace the fuse, or reset the circuit breaker. See "Electrical Requirements".

■ The On/Off button has not been pressed.

Press ON/OFF.

■ The local power has failed.

Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers

■ Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.

Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

■ You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning off air conditioner.

Wait at least 3 minutes after turning off air conditioner before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner power supply cord trips (Reset button pops out)

■ Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord.

Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and remain in) to resume operation.

■ Electrical overloading, overheating, cord pinching or aging can trip (Reset button will pop out) the power supply cord.

After correcting the problem, press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and remain in) to to resume operation. If the power cord fails to reset, contact a service technician.

NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

Air conditioner seems to run too much

■ Is there a door or window open?

Keep doors and windows closed.

■ The current air conditioner replaced an older model.

The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.

■ The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-producing appliances are in use in the room.

Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Portable air conditioners are designed as supplemental cooling to local areas within a room. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner runs for a short time only, but room is not cool

■ Set temperature is close to room temperature.

Lower set temperature. See "portable Air Conditioner Use".

Display error code

■ If the unit displays error code E5, the water container is full.

Drain the water, see "Draining the air conditioner". After draining, the unit can be operated again.
