UNIT PARTS IDENTIFIED
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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:
Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow
these recommendations for greater efficiency.
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.
3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct
sunlight from penetrating and heating 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 and uncomfortable, to avoid an initial
period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the
room. Use of the automatic start/stop programmable
TIMER feature can be a major asset in this regard if
utilized to the fullest extent.
5) When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn
the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE on
HIGH, MED, or LOW. This circulates indoor air,
providing some cooking comfort while utilizing less
electricity.
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.
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).

To operate the hand held remote control you will require two “AAA”
Alkaline batteries (included).
Batteries should be replaced when:
a) No signal (beep) is heard when attempting to program the main unit.
b) The main unit does not respond to a command issued by the remote
control.
Battery replacement:
1) Slide the rear cover on the remote in the direction of the arrow.
Continue pulling (gently) until the cover separates completely from the
unit.
Notes:
1) Do not drop the remote control.
2) Do not place the remote control in a location exposed to direct sunlight.
3) The remote control should be placed about 1 meter or more away from TV, or any electrical appliances.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with canadian ICES-003.
The functions work the same as your dehumidifier’s touch controls.
Batteries: Remove the cover on the back of the remote control and insert the batteries with the (+) and (-)
poles pointing in the proper direction.
CAUTION: Use only AAA or IEC R03 1.5 V batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for a month or longer.
• Do not attempt to recharge the supplied batteries.
• All batteries should be replaced at the same time.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.

2) Insert (2) batteries (AAA) following the same orientation (polarity) depicted inside the battery chamber (+ / -).
3) Re-install rear cover.
4) If the remote control will not be used for extended periods of time (vacations, etc.),
batteries should be removed.
The remote operates within a range of 8 meters (26 ft.) from the receiver located inside the main unit. Any
obstruction between the receiver and remote may cause signal interference, limiting the ability to program the
unit.

CAUTION: Before cleaning or servicing this unit, disconnect from any electrical supply outlet.
1) DO NOT use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean this unit, as these substances may
cause damage to the finish and deformation of plastic parts.
2) Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water directly over any of the surface areas, as this will cause
deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.
3) Unplug the unit.
4) Clean the unit by wiping off any dirt/dust with a soft damp cloth or vacuum cleaner, then wipe dry with a
dry soft cloth.
5) Clean the air intake grill and replace.
CAUTION: Always store the unit in vertical position. DO NOT put heavy objects on top of the unit.
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust/dirt, air flow is restricted, which
reduces cooling efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned every two (2)
weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on indoor air
quality.
NOTE: The air filter is located at the upper rear side of the unit.
1) To remove the air filter: Pull the air filter cover upward in the direction of
the arrow (Fig.4) and remove the air filter.
2) Dust/dirt clogged in the filter can be removed by vacuum cleaning the
soiled areas.
3) The filter can also be washed in lukewarm, soapy water while rubbing it
lightly with a brush. A mild detergent (diswashing liquid) is recommended.
4) Rinse the filter well using clean water. Allow time to dry before
reinstalling into the unit.
5) Replace the air filter and cover.
6) Replacement air filter information is available by contacting the Customer
Service Department at:
1-800-26-
1-800-263-2629
CAUTION: Never operate this unit without the air filter in place, as this may result
in damage to the unit.
