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.

NOTE:
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,Heat, Dry , 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.
NOTE:
In this mode the selected temperature will increase(cooling) or decrease(heating) by 2OF/1OC 30 minutes after the
mode is selected.The temperature will then increase(cooling) or decrease(heating) by another 2OF/1OC after an
additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 6 hours before it returns to the originally selected temperature. This ends the Sleep mode and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed. The Sleep mode program can be cancelled at any time during operation by again pressing the Sleep button.
