WARNING: Do not under any corcumstances, cut, remove
or bypass the grounding prong on the power plug.

Your appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow these recommendations for greater effi-
ciency.
1. Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at that chosen setting.
2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at all times (usually cleaned every
2 weeks depending on indoor air quality).
3. Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating the room, but do not allow drapes
or curtains to obstruct the air flow around the unit.
4. Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is
cooling the room.
5. When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use the FAN MODE only, on HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW setting. This
circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling
setting.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a device that senses damage to the power cord. To test if your
power cord is working properly, you must do the following:
1. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical outlet.
2. The power supply cord has two buttons located on the head of the plug. One button is marked “TEST”, and the other
is marked “RESET”. Press the “TEST” button; you will hear a click as the “RESET” button pops out.
3. Press the “RESET” button; you will hear a click as the button engages.
4. The power supply cord is now energized and supplying electricity to the air conditioner (on some products this is also
indicated by a light on the plug head).
NOTE: The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a current leakage detection device designed to reduce
the risk of fire. In the event the power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new
cord from the product manufacturer.
• Under no circumstances should this device be used to turn the unit on or off.
• The “RESET” button must always be pushed in (engaged) for correct operation.
• The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to reset when the “TEST” button is pushed in.
NOTE: Some plugs have buttons on the top.

UNIT CONTROL PANEL
1. ON/OFF Button: Press to turn the unit on/off. NOTE: The unit will automatically launch the Energy Saver function
when it is in Cool, Dry and Auto modes.
2. Temperature UP/DOWN Buttons: To change the temperature setting, press or hold either the UP ( ) or DOWN
( ) button, until the desired temperature is seen on the display. This temperature will be automatically maintained
anywhere between 17°C (62°F) and 30°C (86°F). In Cooling mode, the display reads the set temperature, while in
Fan mode, the current room temperature is displayed.
3. Fan Speed Button: Select from four different fan settings:Auto, Low, Med or High. Each time the button is pressed,
the fan speed is shifted.
4. Mode Button: Allows you to scroll through and select the desired operating mode: Auto, Cool, Dry and Fan. The se-
lected mode will be denoted by the adjacent indicator light.
Operation in Auto Mode:
• Auto is a pre-set factory program that automatically defines the mode and fan speed, based on the set temperature
you have chosen. An example ofAuto operation is as follows:
• If you would like to cool down your room, your desired / set temperature will be below the room temperature, and your
air conditioner will go into cooling mode. Once the room has reached your desired temperature, the air conditioner will
switch to Fan mode, and circulate the cooled air around the room. When the temperature in the room goes up, the
unit will switch back to cooling mode, and the Auto cycle will start again.
Operation in Dry Mode:
• Please note that in this mode you cannot set the desired humidity level, it is automatically pre-set. The fan speed in
this setting is defaulted to “low”. Since the compressor is operating in order to remove moisture from the air, you will
experience a degree of cooling as a by-product.
Operation in Fan Only Mode:
• Use this function, when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation, or to exhaust stale air. Remember
to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling, for maximum cooling efficiency. In this mode
you can choose any fan speed you prefer. In Fan mode, the temperature cannot be set, and the display will read the
current room temperature.
5. Energy Saver: This is the default setting on this model. The unit will automatically cycle the fan on and off while
the compressor is not in use. The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then
cycles on for 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals, until the room temperature is above the set temperature. At this point,
the compressor turns back on and cooling re-starts. When the unit is in Energy Saver mode, the indicator light above
the Energy Saver button will be illuminated. You can take the unit out of Energy Saver mode by pressing the Energy
Saver button - the indicator light about the button will turn off. If you choose the non-Energy Saver option, the fan will
run continuously when the compressor is not in use.

6. Sleep Button: Press the Sleep button to initiate the Sleep mode. In this mode, the selected temperature will
increase (when in cooling mode) by 1°C (2°F) one half-hour after Sleep mode has been selected. The temperature
will then increase by another 1°C (2°F) after an additional half-hour. This new temperature will be maintained for 6
hours before returning to the originally selected temperature. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will continue to
operate as originally programmed. The Sleep mode program can be cancelled at any time during operation by
pressing the Sleep button again.
7. Timer (Auto Start / Stop Feature) Button: Pressing the Timer button will illuminate the indicator beside the word
“On”. This indicates that theAuto Start program has been initiated. Press or hold the Up ( ) or Down ( ) buttons
to change the Auto time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The
control will count down the time remaining until the start of the program. The selected time will register in 5 seconds
and the system will automatically revert back to displaying the previous temperature setting. Turning the unit ON or
OFF at any time will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function.
8. Check Filter Button: This feature is a reminder to clean the air filter for more efficient operation. The LED (light)
illuminates after 250 hours of operation. To reset after cleaning the filter, press the check filter button and the light
will go off.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
• The Cool 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. The fan will continue to run during this time.
• The control will maintain any set temperature within 2°, between 15°C-32°C (60°F - 90°F).
• The control is capable of displaying temperature in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). To convert from one to the other,
press and hold the UP and DOWN Temp./Timer buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.

FEATURES
ADJUSTING AIR FLOW
The 4-way air directional louvers allow you to direct the air flow up or down and left or right throughout the room as needed.
RECOMMENDATION: When cooling, adjust blades to face upward. If you orient the air flow blades downward and the unit
operates in cool mode for long periods of time, dew may form and drip from the surface of the blades.
