OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER
- Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
- Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER
- The unit can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the Power button on the control panel or the Power 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 Control button until the indicator comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes.
NOTE: 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 i s from 61°F to 89°F. To set the temperature, press the + or – buttons. The air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion; if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the fan will switch to low speed and run approximately 5 minutes before it shuts off. The fan will activate again in approximately 15 minutes and run for 1 minute to circulate air in the room and detect the ambient room temperature. If the room temperature is higher than 5° F of the set temperature, the compressor will turn on and the fan will run in the set speed.
-
To set the fan speed, press the Fan Speed button. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 3 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.
DEHUMIDIFYING 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 Control button until the indicator comes on. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidifying mode, the exhaust hose is optional. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifies. If room temperature i s 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: Venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required but if not vented, the unit may require more frequent draining. The air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which as pecific 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 Control button until the indicator comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the Fan Speed button. Fan Only mode requires that the exhaust hose be removed.
NOTE: The unit does not need to be vented in Fan Only mode.
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. The timer is adjustable between 1-24 hours.
SETTING SWITCH OFF TIMER

desired time delay ON hours by pressing the + or – buttons. When the delay
time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches 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 restored.
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 o r 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 64°F — 95°F. 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.
WATER DRAINAGE
The air conditioner has the capacity to dehumidify up to 101 pints per day.
The patented self – evaporating function of the unit fully exhausts all
condensation automatically in most environments 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 there is excess
water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and the
RED Stop light illuminates. The Stop light indicates that the water
condensation needs to be drained manually.
Manual Drainage:
- Turn off the unit.
- Carefully roll 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 drain cover and rubber plug and the condensed water will drain out automatically.
- Once all the condensed water is drained , put the drain rubber plug and cover back into the drain port firmly.
Note: Please contact support@whynter.com
for retail sales information or visit whynter.com for a
list of optional accessories
REMOTE CONTROL
The portable air conditioner can be switched on by the remote control.
NOTE:
- 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 i s not used for long periods.

TIPS:
-
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’. -
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. -
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 -
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 pre-filter regularly
• Replace the activated carbon filter every 2-3 months depending on use
• Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents -
Remove the intake hose
Remove the intake hose to prevent the unit from over-working when the outdoor humidity or temperature is high.
