In order to obtain the best possible results from
your air conditioner, it is important that you
operate it properly. This section will tell you how
to operate the unit and program the remote
control.
NOTE: If you turn the air conditioner off, or it
turns off after reaching a selected temperature,
the compressor will stay off for 3 minutes to
prevent a fuse from blowing or any unnecessary
wear on the parts.
Electrical Shock Hazard
l Plug unit only into grounded electrical
outlet.
l Do not use an extension cord.
l Do not operate unit with front panel
removed.
Failure to follow the above precautions could
result in electrical shock or personal injury.

from the Control Panel is to turn the unit off,
wait 3 minutes, and turn the unit on again.
In AUTO fan speed, the unit automatically
selects a temperature setting according to the
room temperature. If room temperature is 78’
or above, the unit cools to 75’. If room
temperature is 77” or below, the unti cools to
3” below room temperature.
3. Set the desired temperature by pressing
the TEMP A (up) or V (down) pads until
the indicator light(s) next to the desired
temperature is lit. For continuous cooling
when using the COOL or COOL* modes, set
the temperature to 65’.
When 2 indicator lights are lit, the selected
temperature is l/2way between the two
temperatures. For example, if the indicator
lights for 65” and 70” are lit, the selected
temperature is 67.5”.

The OFF pad turns the air conditioner off. You
can turn the air conditioner on again by following
steps l-3 above.

Setting the clock on the remote control
It is not necessary to set the clock on the remote
control to operate the air conditioner. However, it
is important to set the correct time of day if you
want to use the AUTO START and AUTO STOP
functions. This clock activates the AUTO START
and AUTO STOP functions, and it resets the air
conditioner’s internal clock every time a new
transmission is made.
To ret the clock
1. Press the CLOCK SET pad.
2. Press the TIME A (up) or V (down) pads
until the correct time of day appears in the
display. Be sure the time is set correctly for
AM or PM.
For a 24-hour time display, press the
TIME V pad. While holding in the TIME V
pad, press the TIME A pad. “24H” will show
next to the set time.
NOTE: For faster time movement, hold in the
A or V pad.
3. Press the CLOCK SET pad again to save
your time of day setting. You should hear a
confirmation beep from the air conditioner.
This example shows a set time of day of
12:OOPM (noon).
NOTE: The clock runs continuously-whether the
remote control is on or off. After removing or
replacing the batteries, the clock will have to be
reset.

Programming the AUTO START function on
the remote control
The AUTO START function lets you program the
air conditioner to turn on and cool the room to a
set temperature at any time you choose-whether
you are home or not.
To program AUTO START:
1. Make sure the clock Is set to the correct
time of day. (See “Setting the clock on the
remote control” on page 9.)
2. Press the AUTO START SET pad.
NOTE: If the clock has not been set prior to
pressing the AUTO START SET pad, the
remote control will default to the Clock Set
mode.
3. Use the TIME A (up) or V (down) pads to
set the desired start time.
4. Select an operating mode, fan speed and
temperature. (See “Starting the air condi-
tioner using the remote control” on page 6 for
more information.)
5. Press the AUTO START SET pad again to
save your program settings.
This example shows the AUTO START
function to be programmed to turn on at
3:00 PM and to use the CCCL mode at HIGH
fan speed to cool the room to 7O’F.
6. Press the AUTO START ON pad to enable
your start time program in the air condi-
tioner. You will hear a confirmation beep.
NOTE: Your program is repeated every day at
the set start time. If, at any time, you want to
check or change the program, press the AUTO
START SET pad.
