tioning units. Please read this operation manual thoroughly to familiar-
ize yourself with the features of the unit and to ensure years of reliable
operation. You may also find it useful to keep this operation manual on
hand for reference.
Components and/or procedures are subject to change without prior
notice.
Definition of Terms
WARNING: Describes precautions that should be observed in
order to prevent injury to the user during installation or unit opera-
tion.
CAUTION: Describes precautions that should be observed in
order to prevent damage to the unit or its components, which may
occur during installation or unit operation if sufficient care is not
taken.
NOTE: Provides additional information that facilitates installation
or unit operation.

GENERAL WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
•All electrical work, if necessary, should only be performed by
qualified electrical personnel. Repair to electrical components by
non-certified technicians may result in personal injury and/or
damage to the unit. All electrical components replaced must be
genuine MovinCool parts, purchased from an authorized reseller.
•The proper electrical outlet for MovinCool units must be equipped
with a UL approved ground-fault breaker to prevent electrical shock
from the unit.
•Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition, we
strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. How-
ever, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it will be a UL listed, 3-wire grounding type appli-
ance extension cord, having a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will plug into the appliance. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be 115 V, 15 A or equivalent.
•The Classic Plus 14 model is equipped with a ten (10) foot (3 meter)
power cord. The Classic Plus 26 model is equipped with a six (6)
foot (1.8 meter) power cord. If replacement, fixed location (hard
wired) or power cord lengthening (extension cord) cords are re-
quired, contact your reseller or a qualified electrician for approved
replacement methods.
•Never fold, or place heavy objects on the power cord. This could
result in damage to the power cord causing electrical shock or fire.
•Do not place water or any other liquid on the unit. This can cause
damage to the unit and increase the risk of electrical shock.
•Do not sit or stand on the unit.

OPERATION (cont.)
Operating in COOL Mode
The unit can be operated in COOL mode by pressing the COOL
ON/OFF button (LED illuminates).
NOTE: In COOL mode the unit can only be turned off by pressing
the COOL ON/OFF button again, not by pressing the fan buttons.
➀Change the fan speed by pressing the HIGH or LOW fan buttons.
➁Change the temperature set point by pressing the SET TEMP
buttons (▼/▲).
NOTE: When turning the unit on, the temperature set point and fan
speed are determined by the last operating mode.
Operating in Fan Only Mode
➀The unit can also be operated in Fan Only mode by pressing either
the HIGH or LOW fan buttons (LED illuminates).
➁The unit can then be turned off by pressing the fan speed button
that is illuminated.
Changing from Fan Only Mode to COOL Mode
The COOL mode can be activated while the unit is operating in Fan
Only mode. To do this, simply press the COOL ON/OFF button (LED
illuminates).
NOTE: The Fan Only mode will not operate after the COOL mode
has been activated. After the COOL mode has been activated, the
unit cannot be turned off by pressing the fan buttons. The COOL
ON/OFF button must be pressed.

11
OPERATION (cont.)
Operating Modes
Both Classic Plus models operate in 2 modes, FAN Only and COOL.
When in FAN Only mode the unit circulates the surrounding air. When in
COOL mode, the compressor is engaged and cool air is circulated.
■COOL Mode
Both models will operate in FAN Only mode for approximately 120
seconds before the compressor engages (compressor time delay
program is 120 + 10 seconds).
■Temperature Control
The room temperature thermistor allows the unit to switch auto-
matically between COOL and FAN Only modes. This is dependent
upon inlet air temperature versus SET POINT temperature.
■Fan Mode Control DIP Switch
The Fan Mode Control DIP Switch determines whether the FAN will
continue to operate or stop when the compressor cycles off. (SET
POINT temperature equals inlet air or room temperature.) The unit
has been preset at the factory for continuous fan operation.
■Temperature Scale Display DIP Switch
The Temperature Scale Display DIP Switch changes the SET POINT
temperature that is displayed to either °C or °F. The unit has been
preset from the factory to display the SET POINT temperature in °F.
NOTE: If you wish to change the fan mode operation
(COOLOPERATE to COOLSTOP), and/or the Temperature Scale
Display (°F to °C), contact your MovinCool reseller.

12
OPERATION (cont.)
Emptying the Drain Tank
During COOL mode, condensate will accumulate in the drain tank.
When the drain tank becomes full, the FULL TANK LED will flash and
the unit will shut off automatically.
