OPERATION
(1) POWER - Press the POWER button to turn the unit “ON” or “OFF”.
The portable air conditioner is tted with a compressor delay protection
circuit. This protects the unit from possible damage due to rapid starting
and stopping of its compressor. Compressor operation begins 3 minutes
after the unit is switched on or the mode is switched from dehumidify to air
conditioning.
(2) FUNCTION Press this button to select cooling, heating or
dehumidication. When the heating or dehumidication functions are
used the upper drain plug (6) must be removed and a drain hose must be
attached.
(3) TEMP+ In cooling function, this button raises the set temperature by
1°C each time it is pressed to a maximum of 30°C. In heating function,
this button raises the set temperature by 1°C each time it is pressed to a
maximum of 25°C.
(4) TEMP- In cooling function, this button lowers the set temperature by
1°C each time it is pressed, to a minimum of 17°C. In heating function,
this button lowers the set temperature by 1°C each time it is pressed to a
minimum of 15°C.
The time taken to reach the desired set temperature will depend on the
environment and the size of the space in which the unit is operating in. For
example, if the ambient temperature is too hot or the room is too large, the
rate at which the temperature descends will be slower and the cooling may
be less effective.
5
OPERATION
(5) DISPLAY The display indicates the current, the set temperature or the
timer setting. When the timer or temperature is adjusted, the new setting is
shown then the display returns to the current set temperature.
The display is also used to show error codes should a fault occur,
see ERROR CODES.
(6) SPEED Press SPEED to select LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or AUTO fan
speed. If AUTO fan speed is selected, the unit operates at maximum
capacity and high fan speed while the room temperature is more than 2°C
from the set temperature. When the room temperature is within 2°C of
the set temperature, the unit operates at medium capacity and fan speed.
Once the room temperature equals the set temperature, the unit will operate
at minimum capacity and low fan speed to efciently maintain the desired
temperature. When HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW speed is selected, the unit
operates at maximum capacity until the set temperature is reached. The fan
operates at the selected speed.
Note: When the unit is in heating mode, only HIGH, LOW fan speed can be
selected.
(7) TIMER ON/OFF button for the programmable timer.
The timer can be used to turn the unit on automatically after a set
time delay is complete.
1. With the unit OFF, press the “TIMER” button to set the desired time
delay before the unit is to start.
2. Choose the function desired (cooling, heating or dehumidication.)
3. Once the set time delay is complete, the unit will turn on automatically.
4. If you press the “POWER” button before the time delay is complete, the
delay will be cancelled and the unit will turn on immediately.
6
OPERATION
The timer can be used to turn the unit off automatically after a set
time period is complete.
1. With the unit ON, press the “TIMER” button to set the desired time for
the unit to remain on.
2. Once the set time period is complete, the unit will turn off automatically.
3. If you press the “POWER” button before the time delay is complete, the
delay will be cancelled and the unit will turn off immediately.
(8) SLEEP Press the SLEEP button to select the sleep comfort mode.
When the unit is cooling and sleep mode is selected, the unit will raise
the set temperature 1°C each hour to a maximum of 2°C over two hours.
When the unit is heating and sleep mode is selected, the unit will lower
the set temperature 1°C each hour to a maximum of 2°C over two hours.
These temperatures will be maintained for the balance of the time set
and help maximize sleep comfort.
When setting the “sleep comfort” mode, please ensure that you set the
number of hours required by using the TIMER function. The hours set
will be shown on the display by pressing either the TEMP+ or TEMP
buttons.

the heating function. Return the outlet and tube to the rear of the unit for
cooling or dehumidication.
WATER DRAIN (Error Code E4)
When the air conditioner is used, excess water condensation may be
produced that cannot be removed via the exhaust hose. This water is
captured by an internal container. When this container is full, the unit
will stop working and display the E4 error code. When the error code is
displayed the water collected must be manually drained.
1. Switch off and unplug the unit.
2. Move the unit to a suitable place to drain the water. Consider placing
a tray or suitable container under the outlet pipe to catch the drained
water.
