IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

aELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDa

Read all instructions before using the air conditioner.

• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts ~ AC, and up to 7.5 amps,
the unit may be on a fuse or circuit breaker with other devices. However, the
maximum amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit breaker cannot exceed the amps
or the fuse of circuit breaker.

• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts ~ AC, and greater than 7.5
amps, it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should
be operated on the fuse or circuit breaker.

• To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect power to the unit before
installing or servicing.

TIPS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

Your room air conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency:

• Select temperature setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the temperature at that chosen
setting.

• The filter is very efficient in rem oving airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. The filter should be
cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and
indoor air quality.

• Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT
obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions.

• Start your air conditioner before the room temperature air becomes hot and uncomfo rtable. This
avoids an initial period of discomfort whi le the unit is cooling off the room.

• When room temperature is cool enough, use HIGH, MED or LOW FAN only. T his will circ ulate th e
air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling
setting.

• Sav e the shipping carton and packing materials f or future storage or transport of the unit. Please
check the contents of hardware kit against the corresponding model PARTS AND FEATURES
check list, prior to installation of the unit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• The unit should be installed on a level surface.

• Select a suitable location with easy access to an electrical outlet.

• Leave at least 12” (30.50cm) clearance between your unit and the nearest object, including walls.

• Install the flexible exhaust hose and the adjustable window slider kit provided (see Fig 1).

• Plug unit into an 115V/60Hz grounded electrical outlet.

NOTE: Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunshine from penetrating the room but do not
allow them to obstruct the air flow around the unit.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your air conditioner,
follow these basic precautions:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• When servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn your appliance OFF and disconnect the power
cord from the electrical outlet.

• Do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner or other chemicals on the air conditioner as these
substances may cause damage to the paint finish and deformation of plastic parts.

• Never attempt to pour water directly to the front of the unit as this will cause deterioration of the
electrical insulation.

Cleaning the Air Filter

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, airflow is obstructed and reduces efficiency. The air filter
should be cleaned once a month. More f requent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor
and indoor air quality.

The air filter is located behind the air inlet located in the b ack. To remove the air filter, take out the
Phillips head screw located above the Air Inlet Grille and slide the air filter out (see Fig. 3).
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedure.

Remove dust clogged in the filter by tapping it or vacuum clean it.
Wash the filter well with lukewarm water below 40ºC (104ºF) while rubbing lightly: To get better
results, wash it with soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent.
Rinse the filter well using clean water, and then dry completely.

Drainage

When the air conditioner is running at AUTO, COOL, DEHUMIDIFIER modes, condensed water will
drain into the inner water tray. If the tray gets full, a buzzer will soun d 20 times and the RED LED
FULL indicator light will turn on. At the same time, the cooling system stops running automatically.
Three minutes later, the fan will also stop.
To restart the cooling system, please follow these steps:

CONTROL REMOTO: ESTRUCTURA Y OPERACIÓN

El control remoto usa dos (2) baterías alcalinas secas (AAA 1.5V).
Para instalar las baterías, deslice la tapa que se encuentra en la parte posterior del c ont rol remoto.

Póngalas en su lugar guiándose por los signos (+ y -) que aparecen en el compartimiento interior.

NOTA:

Si no va usar el control remoto por algunas semanas, quite las baterías.
Cambie las baterías cuando, al operar el control remoto, el indicador de la señal de transmisión no
aparezca.
Cuando cambie las baterías asegúrese de no mezclarlas con las viejas, esto reduciría el tiempo de
duración de las nuevas.

Para las funciones de los BOTONES, por favor diríjase a la sección PANEL DE CONTROL

CUIDADO Y MANTENIMIENTO

• Cuando vaya a hacerle servicio a su aire condicionado, asegúrese de apagarlo y desconectarlo
del enchufe de pared.

• No use gasolina, bencina, tiner u otros químicos para limpiar su aire condicionado, estas
substancias podrían causar daños al acabado de la pintura y deformar las partes plásticas.

• Nunca intente verter agua directamente al frente de la unidad, esto deterioraría el aislamiento
eléctrico.

Limpiando el Filtro de Aire

Si el filtro de aire se obstruye con polvo, el flujo del aire lo hará también, reduciendo la eficiencia de
su aire condicionado. Para evitar esto, deberá limpia r el filtro de aire una vez al mes. Dependiendo de
la calidad del aire, tanto interior como exterior, la frecuencia de la limpieza podría ser menor.

El filtro de aire está localizado detrás de la parrilla del ingreso de aire (en la parte posterior). Para
sacar el filtro de aire, quite el tornillo que se encuentra en la zona superior de la parrilla
empleando un desentornillador Phillips. Luego deslice el filtro de aire hacia arriba (vea la Fig. 3).
Para reinstalarlo, invierta el procedimiento anterior.

Quite el polvo del filtro golpeándolo suavemente o aspirándolo.
Lave bien el filtro con agua tibia, debajo de 40ºC (104ºF), mientras lo frota ligeramente: Para obtener
mejores resultados, lávelo con agua jabonosa o un agente de limpieza neutral.
Asegúrese de enjuagar bien el filtro con agua limpia, luego séquelo completamente.

Drenado

Mientras el aire condicionado funciona en el modo AUTO, ENFRIAR, o DESHUMEDECEDOR el
agua que se condense, drenará en una bandeja interior. Si la ba ndeja se llena, una alarma sonará
por 20 segundos y el mensaje “E4” aparecerá en la pantalla LCD. Al mismo tiempo, el sistema de
enfriamiento dejará de funcionar. Tres minutos después, el ventilador t ambién deja rá de funcionar.
Para que el aire condicionado vuelva a funcionar, realic e los siguientes pasos:

4. Si la bandeja para el agua de drenado se llena, coloque nuevament e el tapón de jebe y la tapa de

rosca.

5. Repita los pasos 2, 3 y 4, hasta que haya drenado toda el agua de la bandeja interior.

6. Coloque el tapón de jebe y la tapa de rosca en el tubo de drenaje.

7. Reinicie la unidad.

Cuidado para el Fin de Temporada

de su aire condicionado.

• Apague el equipo y desconéctelo del enchufe de pared.

• Limpie el filtro de aire.

• Drene su máquina.

• Guárdela en un lugar seco.
