|
POWER |
The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a device that senses damage to the |
|
SUPPLY CORD |
||
power cord. To test if your power cord is working properly, you must do the following: |
||
|
|
1)Connect the power supply cord to an electrical outlet.
2)The power supply cord has two buttons located on the head of the plug. One button is marked “TEST”, and the other is marked “RESET”. Press the “TEST” button; you will hear a click as the “RESET” button pops out.
3)Press the “RESET” button; you will hear a click as the button engages.
4)The power supply cord is now energized and supplying electricity to the air conditioner (on some products this is also indicated by a light on the plug head).
NOTE: The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a current leakage detection device designed to reduce the risk of fire. In the event the power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new cord from the product manufacturer.
•Under no circumstances should this device be used to turn the unit on or off.
•The “RESET” button must always be pushed in (engaged) for correct operation.
•The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to reset when the “TEST” button is pushed in.
NOTE: Some plugs have buttons on the top.
ENERGY- |
Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow |
|
SAVING TIPS |
||
these recommendations for greater efficiency: |
||
|
|
1)Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at that chosen setting.
2)The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at all times.
3)Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air flow around the unit.
4)Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room. Use of the automatic start/stop programmable TIMER feature can be a major asset in this regard if utilized to the fullest extent.
5)When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort while utilizing less electricity.

To operate Auto Mode:
• In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted; it starts automatically at a speed according to the room temperature. If the room does not get too warm, the fan will remain at Low speed.
To operate Fan Only Mode:
• Use this function when cooling is not desired, such as for room circulation or to exhaust stale air. Remember to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency. In this mode you can choose any fan speed you prefer.
5)Energy Saver Button: In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on and cooling starts.
6)Sleep Button: In this mode the selected temp. will increase by 2 degrees 30 minutes after the mode is selected. The temp. will then increase by another 2 degrees after an additional 30 minutes. This new temp. will be maintained for 7 hours before it returns to the originally selected temp. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed. The sleep mode program can be cancelled at any time during operation by again pressing the Sleep button.
7)Timer (Auto Start / Stop Feature) Button: Pressing Timer button will illuminate indicator beside the word “On”; this indicates the Auto Start program is initiated. Press or hold the Up (
) or Down (
) buttons to change the Auto time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining until start. The selected time will register in 5 seconds and the system will automatically revert back to display the previous temp. setting. Turning the unit ON or OFF at any time will cancel the Auto Start/Stop function.
8)Check Filter Button: This feature is a reminder to clean the Air Filter for more efficient operation. The LED (light) will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. To reset after cleaning the filter, press the Check Filter button and the light will go off.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
•The Cool circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.
•The control will maintain any set temp. within 2°, between 15°C - 32°C (60°F - 90°F)
•The control is capable of displaying temp. in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). To convert from one to the other, press and hold the Up and Down Temp./Timer buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
