Installation & Assembly Instructions

How to Control Your AC

All the basics you need to know to stay cool!

Control panel
The control panel is on the top of the appliance and enables you to control it without the remote control.

When you choose the sleep function, the brightness of the screen is reduced and fan speed is lowered.
The Sleep function maintains the room at optimum temperature without excessive fluctuations in either temperature or humidity with silent operation. Fan speed is always at Low, while room temperature and humidity vary gradually to ensure your comfort. The Sleep function cannot be set in Fan or Dry modes.

6. UVC Mode (Select Models Only) – Press and hold the fan button for 3 second until the “UV Lamp” indicator turns on. To turn the UV function off, press and hold the fan button for another 3 seconds until the indicator turns off. Should any UV light be exposed, stop use immediately and contact customer service.

7. Clean Filter – To ensure proper maintenance, care, and performance, it is recommended that the filter is cleaned on a weekly basis. Simply remove the filter from the back of the unit by using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing the filter. Once the filter is completely dry, place the filter back in the unit. For cleaning the outside of your product, only use mild liquid dish washing detergents and warm water. Be sure the cloth being used is only slightly damp (no oil residue permitted). Disconnect the unit from any power source before you start cleaning.

Note: The R Series only features one removable filter located at the top on the backside of the unit.
