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 wall 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.

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 sampJed 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 seJected. It will
increase again after 30 minutes by another 2 °F. It wilJ 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:

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 _'A V "
buttons to set the desired room temperature with the remote. (Note that
the set temperature will onJy 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 LIGHT on the unit control will turn
off to indicate the remote sensing mode has ended. The display on the
remote control indicates 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 mare control features with which you should became
familiar.

The _cooF' circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quicHy. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and passible 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.

If the unit is turned off in heat made (if applicable) or fan only mode, it will return to the same setting when it is turned
on again.
When the unit is turned off in cool or energy saver made, it will run in energy saver made when it is turned on again, but

the setting of temperature and fan speed will remain.
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 bath the _°TEMP/TIMER" Up(A) and Dawn (v) buttons for 3 seconds.

FAULTCODES:

If the display reads _°ES"or _°AS",a sensor has failed. Contact 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for 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.

LOUVERS

Air Directional Louvers

Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air
conditioner has the 4-way directional system described

below.

The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or
Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed.
Use the center handle to adiust the air directional
louvers side-to-side until the desired Left or Right
direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers with your
fingertips until the desired Up/Down direction is
obtained. There are a total of 4 possible air directional
orientations available with this system.

Care and Cleaning

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to
unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is

necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter can build up and block air from flowing to cooling
coils and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

. Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.

• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse

filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is
thoroughly dry before replacing.

• Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.

Cabinet Cleaning

* Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The

cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a
cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing

detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
* Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
" Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the

controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the

air conditioner.
" Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully
from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with cloth
or return it to the original carton.

NOTE: Store air conditioner in a dry place in upright position (horizon-

tal with base down).

Energy Saving Ideas

The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient

and satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window

that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.

Do not block inside airflow around air conditioner with blinds, curtains or

furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not
escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of

the day.

Clean the air filter as recommended in the section _Care and Cleaning."
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air

out and cool air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the

air conditioner's work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and

dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
