Please refer to either of the following ways:
1. Using the foam strips
Installation
Setting The Fan Speed
Press the SPEED button to choose the fan speed you require, high or low.
The indicator of high or low fan will light up at the same time.
If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will select the fan speed automatically according to the
ambient temperature (the related indicators, cool, fan or heat will light up), at this time the
fan speed switch is invalid.
Setting the Timer
Press the TIMER button to set the operating hours you desire (1 to 12 hours, the timer
indicator will light up). When the set time has elapsed, the machine will turn off
automatically. The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press the TIMER
button. If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.
By pressing the timer button but without turning on the unit, you
can PRE-SET the time for the machine to work. For example, if you
press the timer to ‘2’, the unit will come on automatically after 2 hours.
All the above functions can also be performed with the supplied remote
control. This remote control requires 2 AAA batteries to operate.
Regulating the airflow direction
Turn the roller on the air vent to control the
airflow direction from the vertical louvers.
• Connect the supplied foam strips with the exhaust pipe, let the hot air flow to the outside.
• Should the foam strip(s) be too large, cut off the extra part to fit the window.
2. Using the Through the Wall
Connection
Notice!
• To prolong the unit’s life, it will start 3 minutes after the unit was switched on. After switching
off, please wait at least 3 minutes before switching it on again.
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan,
however, keeps working at the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the chosen
temperature +5˚F, the cooling will resume.
• In heating mode, the compressor will switch off if the room temperature is HIGHER than the
set one (The fan would also be turned off with compressor in the heat mode). As the room
temperature drops below the selected level –5˚F, the heating will resume.
• This machine is equipped with an ANTI-FROST function. While using the heating function
during low temperatures, sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the
internal frost. When this occurs just wait for heating to resume.
• As you switch on the heating, the fan will stop for 15-20 seconds first for warm up purposes.
• Make a hole (5" in diameter) in the wall to fit the supplied round connector.
• Fit the hose directly to the round connector.
• When the hole is not in use, use the cap for the round connector to cover the hole.

product.
Do not replace or extend it with your own hose
as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
Turning ON/OFF
Press the ON/OFF selector;the unit will start to work at its last setting.
Setting Mode/Function
Press the MODE button to select the required working mode: Automatic, Cooling,Fan or Heating (Heating is only available forWA-1230H
& WA-1030H). The green indicator illustrating your selected mode lights up. It is recommended to select Cooling or Heating mode and set
your desired temperature,as theAuto mode has a preset temperature (please see below) that cannot be changed.
The indicators of the functions in progress come on at the same time,e.g.Cool and Lo = Cooling mode with Low fan speed.
Auto Mode
When this mode is selected,the unit is preset to the following temperature settings and unit will only start to:
• Cool when room temperature is higher than 75°F
• Heat when room temperature is lower than 68°F (WA-1230H & WA-1030H only)
If room temperature is between 68°F and 75°F,unit will stay in Fan mode. Again,when in Auto Mode,the temperature settings cannot be
changed.
Setting theTemperature in Cooling or Heating Mode
The display window’s default is to display the ambient room temperature. The green indicator light under RT is on.
(RT = Room Temperature)
To set your desired temperature,press the Temperature Up or Down buttons (ranging from 64°F to 90°F). Each press will increase or
decrease your set temperature by 1°F. When pressing the temperature up or down buttons, the window will change to display your set
temperature.At this time,the green indicator will light under ST (Set Temperature).Once the temperature up or down buttons is released,
the window will return to displaying the ambient temperature after a second.
Note: When unit is in the following modes: Auto,Cool,or Heat - the compressor will cool/heat the room to reach the set temperature. Once the
ambient temperature has reached the set temperature,the compressor will stop and unit will run in Fan mode. To conserve energy, the
compressor will not start immediately after a couple degrees increase or decrease,but will wait for a 5°F allowance. For example:
In Cooling Mode with a set temperature of 70°F
When compressor first stops after reaching 70°F, unit will auto-switch to Fan.
Compressor will start cooling again when ambient temperature increases to 75°F or above.
In Heating Mode with a set temperature of 72°F
When compressor first stops after reaching 72°F, unit will auto-switch to Fan. Compressor will start heating again when ambient
temperature drops to 67°F or below.
In Auto Mode (with preset temperature of 68°F for heat and 75°F for cool)
Compressor will start cooling again when ambient temperature reaches above 80°F or will start heating when ambient temperature drops
below 63°F.

Drainage
During the process of cooling or heating, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most
of this water is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in
most Portable Air Conditioners. If the unit is operated in VERY HUMID air, water will collect in the
container inside the unit. If the water container is full, the compressor and fan will stop. The POWER
indicator will blink to inform you to empty the
internal container. To make the cooling function work again, please
empty the water by one of the following methods:

By the Draining into a Container
Use a Shallow Container or Dish
1. Turn off the unit.
2. Position a flat container or dish under the drain hole.
Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the container, as
it might easily overflow.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain hole. The
condensed water will drain out automatically.
4. When the container is almost full, replace the rubber plug into
the drain hole to stop the water. Empty the container.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 until all the condensed water is emptied.
6. Once all the condensed water has been removed, replace the
rubber plug into the drain hole firmly. The Full Water indicator
should be off now.
7. Replace the drain knob.
* Do not allow the water to drip continuously into the supply tray,
as it may easily overflow.
By Water Tube (Continuous Drainage)
1. Remove the drain knob and rubber plug and keep them for
future use.
2. Use Teflon tape to cover threading on spout, making a flat
surface for the hose. This will prevent leakage.
3. Connect a suitable water tube (of 3/4" internal diameter -
supplied) to the water hole. The condensed water will drain out
automatically.
4. If you want to extend the water tube you can connect it with
another tube (outside diameter ¾”).
Special Caution for Heating Function!
1. Install the exhaust pipe securely in order to exhaust
the cool air to the outside (please see page 6).
2. You can use the continuous drainage option as described above.
3. The warmer the outside air the more heat will be pumped into
the room. Working range for heat pump function is 41°F to 81°F.
When used in room temperatures outside this range the unit may
not function properly.
4. While using the heating function during low temperatures,
sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the
internal frost. When this occurs, just wait for heating to resume.
This is normal for compressor operated devices.
