SLEEP/ECO operation

This feature can be activated from
the remote control ONLY. To activate
SLEEP feature, the set temperature will
increase by 1°C/2°F in 30 minutes. The set
temperature will then increase by another
1°C/2°F after an additional 30 minutes.
This new temperature will be maintained

power outage, it will restart with the previous
set function when the power resumes.

WAIT 3 MINUTES BEFORE RESUMING
OPERATION

After the unit has stopped, it cannot be
restarted until 3 minutes time has elapsed.
This is to protect the unit. Operation will
automatically resume after 3 minutes.

OW DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT

AIRFL

Adjust the air flow direction manually:

- The louver can be set to the desired
position manually.

- Do not place any heavy objects or
other loads on the louver, doing so will
cause damage to the unit.

Remove the
drain plug

Water drainage

• During DRY mode, remove the upper drain plug from
the back of the unit and install the drain connector
(5/8” universal female adapter) with a 3/4“ hose
(not included). For models without the drain connector,
attach the drain hose to the connector. Place the end of
the hose in the drain area you’re using.

Instructions

Operating

Continuous
drain hose

NOTE

Make sure the hose is secure so there are
no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain,
making sure that there are no kinks that
will restrict water flow. Place the end of the
hose into the drain making sure the end of
the hose is directed downward. When the
continuous drain hose is not used, ensure
that the corresponding drain plug and knob
are securely installed to prevent leaks.

• When the water level of the bottom tray reaches
a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times.
The digital display shows “P1.” At this time the
air conditioning/dehumidification process will
immediately stop. However, the fan motor will
continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully move
the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom
drain plug and let the water drain away. Reinstall
the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until
the “P1” symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call
for service.

NOTE

Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug firmly to
prevent leakage before using the unit.

Example: Setting unit to
turn on after 2.5 hours.

Your air conditioning unit has two timer-related functions:

TIMER ON - sets the amount of time after which the unit
will automatically turn on.

TIMER OFF - sets the amount of time after which the unit
will automatically turn off.

TIMER ON function

The TIMER ON function allows you to set a period of time
after which the unit will automatically turn on, such as when
you come home from work.

1. Press the TIMER ON button. By default, the last time
period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours) will
appear on the display.

NOTICE

This number indicates the amount of time after the
current time after which you want the unit to turn on.

For example, if you set TIMER ON for 2 hours, “2.0h“
will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn on
after 2 hours.

2. Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly to set the time
that you want the unit to turn on.

3. Wait 2 seconds, then the TIMER ON function will be
activated. The digital display on your remote control will
then return to the temperature display.

Advanced Functions

SLEEP Function

The SLEEP function is used to decrease
energy use while you sleep (and don’t need
the same temperature settings to stay
comfortable).

Note:

The SLEEP function is not
available in FAN or DRY mode.

COMFORTSENSE Function

The COMFORTSENSE function
enables the emote control to measure the
temperature at its current location.
When using AUTO, COOL, or HEAT
functions, measuring ambient
temperature from the remote control
(instead of from the indoor unit it self)
will enable the air conditioner to

How to Stay Cool with a New Portable Air Conditioner

Because of a new federal test procedure for Portable Air Conditioners, you may
notice that the cooling capacity claims on portable air conditioner packaging are
significantly lower than that of models produced prior to 2017. This is due to
changes in the test procedure, not to the portable air conditioners themselves.

What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner?

The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit
won't cool adequately while one that's too large will not remove enough humidity,
leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the
square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by
its width. You also need to know the air conditioner's BTU (British Thermal Unit)
rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can remove from a room. A higher
number means more cooling power for a larger room. (Be sure you are
comparing only newer models to each other- older models may appear to have
a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to “size up” if your portable
air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny room, in a kitchen, or in a room with
high ceilings. After you’ve found the right cooling capacity or your room, you can
look at other features.

Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units?

Federal regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based
on a specific test procedure. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested
under a different procedure and cooling capacity is measured differently than
in prior years’ models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling
capacity of the air conditioners has not changed.

What is SACC ?

SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity, in
Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at title 10
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC and applicable
sampling plans.
