You now own the air conditioner with the remote control that’s so
easy to use you’ll hardly believe it! We based our control on the latest
video game technology, so anyone can use it.
This book explains all of the buttons and advanced functions of your
remote control. Besides this, to make everything easy, the display
screen on top of the remote takes you through each step quickly and
clearly.
Most of the time, though, you’ll probably just press “Auto Cool” when
you use your Cool Impressions Air Conditioner. This will give you the
temperature you like in an instant.
So just think of your remote control as a video game control -just
point and shoot. It’s that easy!

Caring for the Remote
Control
Proper maintenance of your remote control ensures longer life. This section tells you how to
perform general maintenance for your remote control.
Cleaning the remote control
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT immerse the remote control
in water. Doing so could damage the
batteries and the internal electronics of the
remote control.
Replacing the batteries
Under normal use and operating conditions,
you should replace the batteries in the
remote control once a year. However, if the
air conditioner stops responding to the
remote control, the batteries could be low
and need to be changed.
BATTERIES: (2) AAA Alkaline
IMPORTANT: Every time you replace
the batteries or cut the power to the
remote control, your SETTING Buttons
lose their program and the time of day
setting. You will have to reprogram the
SETTING Buttons and the time of day.
