the desired setting is lit.
Adjusting the Temperature
Press the TEMP/TIME s and t buttons to adjust the set
temperature up or down in 1° increments.
Temperature setting range is 61°F–90°F
(16°C–32°C). After 15 seconds, the display will
return to the current room temperature.
NOTE: Temperature may only be adjusted in
Cooling Mode.
When in TIMER mode, pressing the TEMP/TIME s and t
buttons will adjust the delay time for the air condtioner to shut off
or turn on.
Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
Press both s and t buttons at the same time to toggle the
displayed units between °F and °C.
Cooling (COOL) Mode
In cooling mode, the air conditioner cools air from the room and
vents hot air to the outdoors through the vent hose. Adjust fan
speed and the temperature setting to t your desired comfort
level. Temperature setting range is 61°F–90°F (16°C–32°C).
IMPORTANT: The vent hose must exhaust to the outdoors when
using cool mode.
Dehumidify (DEHUM) Mode
Air is dehumidied as it passes through the unit, without being
in full cooling mode. For temperatueres above 77°F (25°C), the
fan speed is adjustable. If the termperature is 77°F (25°C) or
below, the fan speed is set automatically to LOW and cannot be
adjusted.
IMPORTANT: For best results, the continuous drain hose should
be connected and the vent hose should not be exhausted to the
outside, allowing the warm air to recirculate into the room.

Other Functions
BUCKET FULL Indicator
This air conditioner has an internal tank to hold
accumulated water from the condenser. Normally,
this water is evaporated and exhausted to the
outside. However, in periods of high humidity, the
internal tank may become full. If this happens,
the Bucket Full indicator will be lit and the air
conditioner will turn off until the internal tank is emptied. See
“Care and Cleaning”.
The functions on the remote control operate
the same way as the touch controls on the air
conditioner control panel.
NOTE: Remote control
may vary in appearance.
Replacing the batteries in the remote
Normal Operating Sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
■ Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
■ Air movement from the fan.
■ Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
■ Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
■ A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
high-efciency compressor cycling on and off.
NOTE: The remote uses two AAA 1.5V batteries (included).
Replace batteries after approximately 6 months of use.
To remove the batteries:
Remove the battery compartment cover and remove the
batteries.

for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter every 2
weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: For best performance, do not operate the air conditioner
without the lter in place.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the
air lter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with
a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the
dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners; it
may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter completely before
replacing to ensure maximum efciency.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.
Air conditioner will not operate
■ The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into a grounded
3-prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements. ”
■ The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has popped
out). Press and release RESET to resume operation.
■ A household fuse has blown, or circuit breaker has tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician. See “Electrical Requirements. ”
■ The Power button has not been pressed. Press POWER.
■ The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.
■ The internal water tank is full. If the “Bucket Full” indicator is
lit, empty the internal tank. See “Draining the Internal Tank”.
Air conditioner blows fuses or trips
circuit breakers
■ Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.
Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.
■ Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is
being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
of the correct capacity. See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after
turning off the air conditioner. Wait at least 3 minutes after
turning off the air conditioner before trying to restart the air
conditioner.
Air conditioner seems to run too much
■ The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use
of more efcient components may cause the air conditioner
to run longer than an older model, but the total energy
consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit
the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older
air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling
capacity or efciency. Refer to the efciency rating (EER) and
capacity rating (in BTU/h) marked on the air conditioner.
■ The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled .
Air conditioner cycles on and off too
much or does not cool room in
cooling mode
■ The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check
the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air
conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
■ The lter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the lter.
■ There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking,
showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or
moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-producing
appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■ The air intakes are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
■ The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is
extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner
to cool off a very hot room.
■ Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows
and doors.
■ The temperature setting is not set to a cool enough setting.
Adjust the temperature to a cooler setting by pressing the
minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed
control to the highest setting.
Error codes in display
■ If E1 or or E2 appears in the display, call for service.
Air conditioner power supply cord trips
(Reset button pops out)
■ Disturbances in your electrical current can trip (Reset button
will pop out) the power supply cord. Press and release RESET
to resume operation.
■ Electrical overload, overheating, a pinched cord, or aging can
trip the power supply cord (Reset button will pop out). After
correcting the problem, press and release RESET to resume
operation.
NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.
