AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE FOR UNIT OPERATION

TECHNICAL DATA

What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner?
The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won’t cool adequately while one that’s too large will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by its width. You also need to know the air conditioner’s BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can remove from a room. A higher
Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units?
the number means more cooling power for a larger room. (Be sure you are comparing only newer models to each other- older models may appear to have a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to “size up” if your portable air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a room with high ceilings. After you’ve found the right cooling capacity for your room, you can look at other features.
Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units?
Federal regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a specific test procedure, which was changed just this year. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a different procedure and cooling capacity is measured differently than in prior years models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of the air conditioners has not changed.
What is SACC?
SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC, and applicable sampling plans.

FILTER INSTALLATION AND DRAINAGE

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE AIR CONDITIONER WITHOUT THE AIR FILTER
Your Whynter portable air conditioner is equipped with a washable filter.
This washable filter removes large particles such as dust, pet hair, and dander.

WATER DRAINAGE

The dehumidifying capacity of this unit is 87 pints per day. The patented self-evaporating function of the ARC-115WG unit fully exhausts all condensation automatically in most environments when humidity is less than 70%. In 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 the water reservoir reaches its maximum level, the water full indicator light will illuminate and all operation modes will be disabled temporarily while the fan continuously runs. The water full indicator light will disappear when the water is completely drained.
Continuous drainage (Fig. A) – optional

Remove the drain cover and soft rubber stopper from the upper drain port. Install the drain hose (sold separately) through the driven cover.
Thread the drain cover onto the drain port. Place the open end of the drain hose down to an area appropriate for draining.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Remove the exterior and interior packing
• Before connecting the appliance 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 appliance can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the POWER button on the control panel or the ON/OFF 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 button until the COOL indicator light comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes.
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 is from 61°F / 16°C to 89°F / 32°C. To set the temperature, press the + or – buttons. This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs on fan-only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner. To set the fan speed, press the FAN button.
NOTE: In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 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.
DRY (DEHUMIDIFYING) ONLY 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 button until the DRY indicator light is displayed. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidifying mode, the exhaust hose does not need to be vented. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifiers.
To prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be recirculated into the room.
If the room temperature is higher than 77°F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If the room temperature is lower than 77°F, the fan speed is set at Low.
NOTE: when using the dehumidifying mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required. If vented, the warm air is exhausted to the outside, and cooling within the room may occur. Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more frequent draining.
Also, the air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set.
FAN THE 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 button until the FAN indicator light comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button. When using FAN-only mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is optional.
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.
SETTING SWITCH-OFF TIMER
With the air conditioner operating in any function mode, press the TIMER button. The TIMER OFF light will come on. Then set the desired time delay OFF hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hours to up to 10 hours, followed by a 1-hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches off. To cancel the delayed switch-off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.
SETTING DELAYED SWITCH ON TIMER
With the air conditioner is off, press the TIMER button. The TIMER ON light will come on. Then set the desired time delay ON hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hours to up to 10 hours, followed by a 1-hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches on. To cancel the delayed switch-on function, turn on the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.
SLEEP MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in cooling mode, decreases the noise level, and conserves energy. The temperature will then increase by another 1°C/ 1°F after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will remain the same for 7 hours. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button until the SLEEP indicator light comes 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.
CONTROLLING THE AIRFLOW DIRECTION
The louvers can be controlled to Auto-Swing or in a fixed direction. To control the airflow direction by Auto-Swing, press the SWING button. To set the louvers in a fixed angle or direction, press the SWING button while on Auto-Swing mode when the desired angle is chosen.
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 or 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 LOCKOUT

This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 61°F – 95°F (16°C – 35°C). The compressor circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.

REMOTE CONTROL

The portable air conditioner can be switched on by the remote control.

DISPOSAL

This appliance should not be treated as regular household waste. Check for local regulatory compliance regarding the approved and safe disposal of this appliance.
TIPS

1. 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′.

2. 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.

3. 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

4. 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 filter regularly
   – Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents
