IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical connection requirements.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:This air conditioner is designed to be operated under condition as follows and performance may be reduced outside of these operating temperatures.

Cooling Operation| Outdoor Temp:| 70-109°F/21-43°C (70-125°F121-52°C for special tropical models)
---|---|---
Indoor Temp:| 70-90°F/21-32°C

For the seasons that the air conditioner is not in use, ensure to drain all water out of the unit. Failure to do so may cause unwanted freezing which can affect performance for the next appropriate season. See the Care and Cleaning, Draining The Unit section for more information on how to properly drain the unit.

USING THE AIR CONDITIONER

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 70°F.
Control Panel Lights On/Off Feature
This air conditioner has a control panel lights on/off feature where its lights will turn off when there is no activity with the controls for over one minute. To wake up the controls, press any pad on the controls and the lights will come on to show the previous settings.
To turn this feature off, press and hold the SLEEP pad, on the unit, for 3 seconds. The unit will beep to signal the successful toggle of the feature on and off.
Remote Control

  • To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.
  • The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
  •  Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
  • Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.

Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Auto, Quiet, Med, and High fan modes for cooling. Use the Temperature + /— 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 Quiet fan with a middle set temperature.
Eco Mode
Controls the fan.
ON —The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor.
This may result in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. When the unit first enters the operating ECO mode, either after the unit is turned on, by changing the operating mode, or after a power failure, the fan will run at the set fan speed for a minimum of about 3 minutes, independent on whether or not the compressor is on. After this 3 minute bellowing, the fan and compresor will cycle on together for 2 minutes at the set Fan speed, and then off for 10 minutes. This cycle will repeat until the mode is changed.
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 Quiet, 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. Compressor is always off.
Auto Fan Mode
Set to Auto 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.
Dry Mode
Aids in removing humidity from the room.Dry mode cannot be used to cool room.
NOTE: In Dry mode, when the set temperature is close to ambient temperature, the compressor may stop and the fan will run in Quiet speed only.

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.
  • To ensure maximum efficiency, it is recommended to check and see that the rubber Subbase Water Plug is properly inserted. This plug may be removed during operation to minimize water in the back of the unit; however, removing it will lower the efficiency of your unit.
  • Water droplets being thrown against the outside coils can make a pinging noise. This helps cool the condenser. You can reduce this noise by opening the water hole seal located on the lower right side of the unit. Opening this seal will lower the Energy Efficiency of your unit.
