CARING FOR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
IMPORTANT: Before performing any maintenance, ensure the air conditioner unit is
turned o and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
BEFORE FIRST SEASONAL USE
1. Check to see if any objects such as leaves and branches are obstructing the air
intake and outlets, both inside and outside.
2. Check to see if the installation base is rusty or corroded.
3. Ensure the electrical outlet is properly grounded.
4. Check the air filter screen and clean as needed.
5. Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Insert batteries into your remote control.
DURING REGULAR OPERATION
1. Remove the air filter screen by gently holding and pressing the lower ends of the
front grille and pulling open. Li the air filter and pull toward you.
2. Clean the air filter screen with lukewarm water and air-dry. Do not expose the filter
or screen to direct sunlight!
3. Reinsert the filter screen
4. Clean the unit with a so, dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner. Use a cloth dampened
with lukewarm, soapy water to remove excessive dirt.
AFTER THE LAST SEASONAL USE
1. Dry out the interior of the unit by setting the temperature to 86°F and running in
cooling mode for half a day.
2. Turn the unit o and unplug the power cable.
3. Clean the air filter screen and reinsert it.
4. Clean the unit on both the indoor and outdoor sides.
5. Remove the batteries from the remote control to avoid battery leakage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Investigate the following possible causes:
THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL
1. Is the power cable properly inserted into a functioning, grounded outlet?
2. Is there a power failure such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
3. Is the timer set to «TIMER ON» mode? Disable the timer to immediately start op-
erations.
4. Is the ambient temperature lower than 61°F (16°C)? A safety device prevents the
unit from cooling the room to even lower temperatures.
HEATING OR COOLING IS INSUFFICIENT
1. Is the room temperature set properly?
2. Is the air filter dirty?
3. Are doors or windows open in the room?
4. Is the room directly exposed to sunlight?
5. Are there heat sources within the room?
6. Are there a large number of people in the room?
REMEDIES
THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT OFF.
The unit can not be restarted for 3 minutes to allow the condenser to cool and avoid risk
of fire. Wait a few minutes before restarting the unit.
FOG IS BLOWN OUT DURING COOLING
In warm, high humidity environments this may naturally occur. Continued cooling will
remove excess humidity from the room and the fog will disappear.
THE UNIT EMITS A STRANGE SMELL
This may be caused by cigarette smoke or other residues from cooking and other living
activities that remain in the air conditioning unit. Clean the filter.
THERE IS A «SQUEEZING» NOISE
The cycling of the refrigerant inside the unit can temporarily cause this noise.
THERE IS A «PATTING» NOISE
This is oen caused by heat expansion in the plastic parts.
