IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from the manufacturer and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.
If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.
Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air
conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
For your safety…do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants, check
with the company handling disposal about
what to do.
These R410A air conditioning systems
require contractors and technicians to use
tools, equipment and safety standards
approved for use with this refrigerant.
DO NOT use equipment certified for R22
refrigerant only.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this
appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device.
A test and reset button is provided on the plug
case. The device should be tested on a periodic
basis by first pressing the TEST button and then
the RESET button while plugged into the outlet. If
the TEST button does not trip
or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified service technician.
2
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.

Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for
freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used in
freezing outdoor conditions.
Remote Control
To ensure proper operation, aim the remote
control at the signal receiver on the air
conditioner.
Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner
and the remote control that could block the
signal.
The remote control signal has a range of
up to 20 feet.
Make sure batteries are fresh and installed
correctly as indicated on the remote control.
Remote contains a magnet allowing it to attach
to metal surfaces.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan
Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase Ÿ
/ Decrease ź pads to set the desired temperature
between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on
and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort.
Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor
air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher
number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan
setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately
3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to
begin.

temperature.
Energy Saver Mode
This mode optimizes the cooling power of your air
conditioner, thereby saving you energy. Once the
set point temperature has been reached, the fan
will cycle off to save energy. The fan will cycle back
on periodically to insure all cooling capacity in the
system is used. This mode is the default mode for the
unit. Each time the unit is powered off, it will restart
in Energy Saver mode ON. This includes Delay timer
mode. The first time the unit is turned on, the settings
will be 70° and Low fan. You can adjust the fan
speed and temperature to your personal comfort.
Fan Only Mode
Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan
speed to provide air circulation and filtering without
cooling. Since fan-only settings do not provide
cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The
room temperature will appear in the display.
Auto Fan Speed
Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to
automatically set to the speed needed to provide
optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.
If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed
Energy Saver ON³Helps minimize electricity use.
It is normal for the fan to cycle off and then back
on in this mode. This on/off cycle can repeat
multiple times. Because the fan will cycle off, you
may notice a variation in room temperature and
humidity.

the fan will run continuously, and in Cool mode the
compressor will cycle on and off to maintain room
temperature.

cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the
Fan Only Mode.
Power Outage Recovery Feature
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the
unit will automatically restart in the settings last
used after the power is restored. If the Delay 1–24hr
feature was set, it will resume countdown. You may
need to set a new time if desired.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a
15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the possibility
of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet you plan to
use is only a 2-prong outlet,
it is your responsibility to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Some models require 230/208-volt AC,
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit for best
performance and to prevent overloading
house or apartment wiring circuits, which
could cause a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.
