WARNING

Electrical Information

The complete electical 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 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. Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation. Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place.This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

Operation of Current Device

(Applicable to the unit adopts current detection device only )

The power supply cord contains a current device that senses damage to the power cord. To test your power supply cord do the following:

1. Plug in the Air Conditioner.

2. The power supply cord will have TWO buttons on the plug head. Press the TEST button, you will notice a click as the RESET button pops out.

3. Press the RESET button, again you will notice a click as the button engages.

4. The power supply cord is now supplying electricity to the unit. (On some products this it also indicated by a light on the plug head.)

NOTE:

Do not use this device to turn the unit on or off. Always make sure the RESET button is pushed in for correct operation. The power supply must be replaced if it fails reset when either the TEST button is pushed, or it cannot be reset. A new one can be obtained from the product manufacturer.

To choose operating mode, press Mode button.Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a sequence that goes from Auto, Cool, Dry ,heat(cooling only models without)and Fan. The indicator light beside will be illuminated and remained on once the mode is selected. The unit will initiate automatically the Energy Saver function under Cool, Dry, Auto(only Auto-Cooling and Auto-Fan) modes.

To operate on Auto feature:

When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating(cooling only models without), or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically round the temperature point set by you. In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted, it starts automatically at a speed according to the room temperature.

To operate on Fan Only:

Use this function only when cooling is not desired,such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air(on some models). (Remember to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you prefer. During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode. In Fan only mode ,the temperature is not adjusted.

To operate on Dry mode:

In this mode, the air conditioner will generally operate in the form of a dehumidifier. Since the conditioned space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will continue.

The 4-way air directional louvers allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down(on some models) and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. To adjust the air directional louvers side-to -side, use the center handles as you move it side-to-side.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with. 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. The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other, press and hold the Left and Right Temp/Timer buttons at the same time, for 3 seconds.

CARE AND CLEANING

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 cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

CAUTION

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to

prevent chock or fire hazards.
