Solution
Restore the power supply
Insert the plug correctly into the
socket
Flip the switch, change the fuse,
or turn the breaker back on. Also
note that you may have too many
appliances drawing power on one
circuit, so you may need to move
some onto another circuit
Move the unit onto another
circuit with the correct voltage
Call for service. Only authorized
service man should replace
damaged plugs
Press the Reset button on the
portable air conditioner's plug
This unit is designed to work in
ambient temperatures of 64°F to
100°F
Press the Mode button until the
Cooling icon is shown on the
control panel
Give the compressor 3 minutes to
turn on after the Cooling mode
has been selected
Reset the temperature lower
Check the water level indicator
on the control panel. If it is lit,
either manually drain the water
or allow the unit to exhaust the
water itself. Then cooling will
resume
Clean the filter
Make sure there is at least 20" of
clearance from the air intake (on
the front of the unit)
Make the exhaust duct as short as
possible
