IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE 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 must be replaced by an authorized repairman.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug and current detection device

WARNING

For your safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 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.

WARNING

Electrical Information

Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grill. 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

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.

Plug in & press RESET

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 is also indicated by a light on the plug head.)

NOTE: Some plugs have buttons on the top.

NOTES:

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 to reset when either the TEST button is pushed, or it cannot be reset. A new one can be obtained from the product manufacturer. If power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired. It MUST be replaced by an authorized repairman.

To choose operating mode, press the Mode button. Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a sequence that goes from Auto, Cool, Dry ,Heat and Fan.The indicator light beside will be illuminated and remain on once the mode is selected.

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 around 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.

NOTE:

This function is available on COOL mode.The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off.The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on and cooling starts.

AIR CONDITIONER FEATURES(CONTINUED)

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you have mastered the operating procedures, 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 Up and Down Temp/Timer buttons at the same time, for 3 seconds.

Fresh Air Vent Control(on some models):

Figure 1 (VENT CLOSED)

The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:

1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (See Fig.1)

2. Draw fresh air into the room- Vent Open (see Fig.2)

3. Exchange air from the room and draws fresh air into the room - Vent and Exhaust Open (see Fig.3)

Air Directional Louvers

Air Direction(4- way)

Figure 2 (VENT OPEN)

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.

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 cleaned every two weeks or as necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils. Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position (where applicable). Open the front panel. Grasp the filter, pull up and out. Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing deter gent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean. Note: Never use hot water over 104 (40 ) to

cl ean th e ai r fil ter. Never attempt to operate the

unit without the air filter.

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 after unit has dried out completely.
