CONTROLS AND DISPLAY

1. POWER Press the POWER button to turn the unit "ON" or "OFF".

※ The portable air conditioner is fitted 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 key to select cooling, heating, dehumidifying or

humidifying.

※ Humidifier:

1. The unit will stop automatically after four hours of operation. Put water into the water
filler (10) to restart operation.

2. The unit will stop humidifying if the ambient humidity is equal to the pre-set humidity.

3. (TEMP+) In cooling mode, this button raises the set temperature by

1°C each time it is pressed to a maximum of 30°C. In heating
mode, this button raises the set temperature by 1°C each time it
is pressed to a maximum of 25°C.

4. (TEMP-) In cooling mode, 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 slow as the cooling may be less effective.

5. DISPLAY The display indicates the current set temperature or the timer

setting. When the timer or temperature is adjusted, the new
setting is shown before 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 TURBO, HIGH, LOW or AUTO fan

speed. If AUTO fan speed is selected, the unit operates at
maximum capacity and turbo 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 HIGH fan speed. Once the room temperature
equals the set temperature, the unit will operate at minimum
capacity and low fan speed to efficiently maintain the desired
temperature. When TURBO, HIGH or LOW speed is selected,
the unit operates at maximum capacity until the set temperature
