important Safety instructions

The power supply cord with this air conditioner contains a current detection device designed to reduce the

risk of fire. Please refer to the section 'Operation of

Current Device' for details. In the event that the power supply cord is

damaged, it cannot be repaired, and it

must be replaced with a cord from the Product manufacturer.

Avoid fire hazard or electric

shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.

Read all instructions before using this air conditioner.

For Your Safety

Donot store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance. Read productlabels for flammability and other warnings.

Prevent Accidents

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

* Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This

information can be found on the nameplate, which is located on the side of the

cabinet.

* If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both

sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation.

* Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the

separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the

installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.

* When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on

The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.

Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.

* Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded walt receptacle. If the

wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper

receptacle.

* Do not run air conditioner without outside protective cover in place. This could

result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

* Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

temperature setting of 72 °F.

Note: The unit is programmed to start in the cool mode, with high fan speed and a

To use Cool, press the MODE button to select:

IRl

To change the Temperature Setting use the UP and Down arrows as required:

To adjust Fan Speeds press the Fan Speed button and select:

LOW HIGH

To use the Auto Fan Feature press the Fan Speed button and select AUTO:

To operate on Fan Only, press the MODE button to select:

MED

Note: Fan speed starts at high and adjusts to a slower speed as the room temperature dictates. For example, if the room doesn't get too warm itwill stay at the slowest speed. If the room temperature rises quickly, such as when a door is opened, itwill automatically go to the highest speed. The fan speed will re=adjust back to the slowest speed as the room returns to the original set temperature.

Use Fan Only function to circulate room air without air conditioner cooling. You can use any fan speed you prefer and the actual room temperature will be displayed in the

DISPLAY.

Air Conditioner Features

(continued) To use Energy Saver press the MODE button to select:

You will save energy usage in this mode. The compressor and motor will turn off once the room is at the desired temperature. The air will be sampled for 20 seconds every

10 minutes until the room is above the set temperature, at which point the compressor

turns back on and the fan runs. The entire process is now repeated.

To use the Sleep feature press the SLEEP button and the LED will illuminate:

The set temperature will increase 2 °F 30 minutes after this mode is selected. It will increase again after 30 minutes by another 2 °F. It will stay at this set point for 7 hours, and then return to the original setting.

To use the Timer function press the TIMER button and the LED will illuminate:

Press the UP and DOWN arrows to select the desired time up to 24 hrs. The control will count down the time remaining in 1 and 0.5 hr increments. Ifyou need to change the set temperature, press MODE then the UP/DOWN arrows. Then after 5 seconds the display

will revert to the hours remaining. This mode can be cancelled by pressing the TIMER

button. The mode will operate one time, then the above steps have to be repeated. NOTE: Timer button is functional when On/Off button is set to either On or Off. When

set to On, the amount selected is the time remaining until the unit shuts Off. When set to Off, the amount is the time until the unit turns On.

Check Filter Feature:

Remote Sensing Feature:

LIGHT pulsing ( On & Off intermittently ).

PRESS REMOTE

SENSING START BUTTON

After 250 hours of operation, the Filter Reset LED will light. This is a reminder to clean

the filter housed behind the front panel to keep the unit operating efficiently. Pressing the FILTER RESET button for 3 seconds will reset this reminder and turn off the LED.

Remote Sensing allows you to transmit the room temperature and desired coolness setting from where you sit to the air conditioner. The air conditio-

ner then cools the area where you sit to your desired coolness setting. Note: This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY, and

the unit must be in a cooling mode. To activate the remote sensing feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the remote sensing Start button. Next, use the "^ v ,,

buttons to set the desired room temperature with the remote. (Note that the set temperature will only be displayed on the unit itself ). The LIGHT on the unit control will pulse to indicate it received the signal. The LIGHT on the remote control will pulse each time it sends a signal. It will periodi- cally send this signal until the feature is deactivated by pressing the remo-

te sensing Stop button. If the unit does not receive the remote sensing signal during any 200 second interval, the unit will beep to indicate the remote sensing mode has ended. The display on the remote control indi- cates the temperature at the remote ONLY. NOTE: The Remote Sensing function is terminated either by using the

Remote Sensing Stop button or the main ON/OFF button on the unit.

ADDiTiONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you understand the basic operation functions, here are more control features with which you should become

familiar. * 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.

* There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility

of having to roll through to select another mode.

* The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees. * The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the

other and back, press and hold both the "TEMP/TIMER" Up(/'_) and Down (v) buttons for 3 seconds.

FAULT CODES : If the display reads "ES" or "AS", a sensor has failed. Contact 1=800=4=MY-HOME_Dfor repair.

Evaporator coil sensor Air temperature sensor

AUTO RE-START : After a power outage, the unit will remember the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
