INSTALLING THE WINDOW KIT
The instructions below can be used for either a hung
window or a sliding window application.
1. Measure the window opening where the window
kit will be installed. Assemble as many sliders
as necessary to fit the window. If the window
opening is less that the minimum length of a
single slider, use the slider that has the hole in it
and cut it to the correct length. Make sure not to
cut the end that has the hole as this is necessary
to attach the exhaust hose adapter. Cut the
adhesive foam seals to the correct length for the
window and attach them to the window sash
and frame.
2. Connect the window slider adapter to the
window slider by gently pressing it into the hole
in the slider until it clicks into place.
3. Attach the exhaust hose to the window slider
adapter by gently pressing it into the adapter
until it clicks into place.
4. Install the slider kit and hose assembly and close
the window to hold it in place.
5. Attach the air outlet adapter to the back of the
appliance by sliding it down into the channel
around the air outlet. Attach the hose to the air
outlet adapter on the back of the appliance by
gently pressing it into the adapter until it clicks
into place.
6. Cut the non-adhesive foam seal to match the
width of the window and insert it between the
glass and the window frame to prevent air and
insects from getting into the room.
7. Install the security bracket in the window frame
with the provided screws.

FOLLOW ME FUNCTION
There is a temperature sensor built into the remote
control that will continuously collect the current
room temperature. Keep the remote control with
you and the appliance will automatically adjust the
set temperature based on the current temperature
where you are located to reach the most
comfortable condition and temperature.
Press the follow me button to activate the follow
me function. The remote will display the current
temperature at its location. The remote will send
a signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes, so
long as you remain within range of the appliance.
The follow me light on the control panel of the
appliance will illuminate for 5 seconds every three
minutes to indicate that it has received a signal
from the remote. If the appliance does not receive a
signal from the remote during any 7 minute interval,
it will beep to indicate that the follow me mode has
ended.
The maximum distance for the follow me feature is
8 meters (26 feet). This feature is available in cool
and auto modes.
SLEEP FUNCTION
The sleep function can be used to conserve energy
during sleeping hours.
When selected, the set temperature will increase
by 1°C/2°F every half hour for one full hour. The
appliance will hold the new set temperature for
6 hours before automatically returning to normal
operation.
The sleep function can be canceled at any time by
pressing the sleep button.
IONIZER FUNCTION
The ionizer is a form of air purification that
negatively charges the air. Dust particles, pollen and
other particles in the air cannot pass through the
filter when they are negatively charged. This ensures
that the maximum amount of dust and dirt are
removed from the air. Additionally, the ionizer helps
to remove unwanted odors from the air.
WIRELESS CONNECTION
This appliance can be controlled with a wireless
application on your wireless device.
