Note: If the unit is turned off in heat mode (if applicable) or

turned on again, When the unit is turned off in cool or energy
saver mode, it will run in energy saver mode when it is turned
on again, but the setting of temperature and fan speed will
remain.
ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.
',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.
There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having
to roll through to select another mode.
• The control will maintain the set temperature within 1 degrees Celsius, between 16 °C and 32 °C.
• After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
EXHAUST CONTROL
temp/timer mauto
energysavermreed
fanonly _ lo
closed exhaust open W
This Exhaust Control allows the air conditioner to either recirculate inside air (CLOSED) or exhaust air to the outside (OPEN).
The CLOSED position is used when maximum cooling is desired. It may also be used for air recirculation without cooling when the
air conditioner is set in any FAN position,
The OPEN position removes stale air from the room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn in through normal passages
in the home.

4-WAY LOUVERS
The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct
the airflow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout
the room as needed.
Care and Cleaning Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new, Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is
necessary, Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation
of frost on the cooling coils.
• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is
thoroughly dry before replacing
•Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.
Cabinet Cleaning
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard, The
cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth
dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls,
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from
the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return
it to the original carton,
NOTE:To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged, store air
conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, endosuresr or other buildings.
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation,
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home, A window that faces
north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up
the chimney and into the duct work,
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning".
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load,
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day,
