UNIT CONTROL PANEL
1) On/Off Button: Press to turn the unit on/off.
NOTE: The unit will automatically launch the Energy Saver
function when it is in Cool, Dry, and Auto modes.
2) Temperature UP/ DOWN Buttons: To change the tempe-
rature setting, press or hold either the UP (
button, until the desired temperature is seen on the display.
This temperature will be automatically maintained anywhere
between 62°F (17°C) and 86°F (30°C). In Cooling mode, the
display reads the set temperature, while in Fan mode, the
current room temperature is displayed.
3) Fan Speed Button: Select from four different fan settings:
Auto, Low, Med or High. Each time the button is pressed,
the fan speed is shifted.
4) Mode Button: Allows you to scroll through and select the
desired operating mode: Auto, Cool, Dry and Fan. The selec-
ted mode will be denoted by the adjacent indicator light.
Operation in Auto Mode:
• Auto is a pre-set factory program that automatically defines
the mode and fan speed, based on the set temperature
you have chosen. An example of Auto operation is as
follows.
If you would like to cool down your room, your desired/ set
temperature will be below the room temperature, and your air
conditioner will go into cooling mode. Once the room has
reached your desired temperature, the air conditioner will
switch to Fan mode, and circulate the cooled air around the
room. When the temperature in the room goes up, the unit
will switch back to cooling mode, and the Auto cycle will
start again.
Operation in Dry Mode:
• Please note that in this mode you cannot set the desired
humidity level, it is automatically pre-set. The fan speed in
this setting is defaulted to "low". Since the compressor
is operating in order to remove moisture from the air, you
will experience a degree of cooling as a by-product.
Operation in Fan Only Mode:
•
Use this function when cooling is not desired, such as for
room air circulation, or to exhaust stale air. Remember to
open the vent during this function, but keep it closed
during cooling, for maximum cooling efficiency. In this mode
you can choose any fan speed you prefer. In Fan mode,
the temperature cannot be set, and the display will
read the current room temperature.
5) Energy Saver: This is the default setting on this model.
The unit will automatically cycle the fan on and off while
the compressor is not in use. 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 this
point, the compressor turns back on and cooling re-starts.
When the unit is in Energy Saver mode, the indicator light
above the Energy Saver button will be illuminated. You can
take the unit out of Energy Saver mode by pressing the
Energy Saver button - the indicator light above the button
will turn off. If you choose the non-Energy Saver option,
the fan will run continuously when the compressor is not
in use.

6) Sleep Button: Press the Sleep button to initiate the
Sleep mode. In this mode, the selected temperature will
increase (when in cooling mode) by 2°F one half-hour
after Sleep mode has been selected. The temperature
will then increase by another 2°F after an additional half-
hour. This new temperature will be maintained for 6
hours before returning to the originally selected tempera-
ture. 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 pressing the Sleep button again.
7) Timer (Auto Start/ Stop Feature) Button: Pressing
the Timer button will illuminate the indicator beside the
word "On". This indicates that the Auto Start program
has been initiated. Press or hold the Up ( ) or Down ( )
buttons to change the Auto time by 0.5 hour increments,
up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours.
The control will count down the time remaining until the
start of the program. The selected time will register in 5
seconds and the system will automatically revert back
to displaying the previous temperature setting. Turning
the unit ON or OFF at any time will cancel the Auto
Start/Stop function.
8) Check Filter button:
This feature is a reminder to clean the air filter for more
efficient operation. The LED (light) illuminates after 250
hours of operation. To reset after cleaning the filter,
press the check filter button and the light will go off.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
• 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 will maintain any set temp. within 2°, between
15°C - 32°C (60°F - 90°F)
• The control is capable of displaying temp. in Celsius (°C)
or Fahrenheit (°F). To convert from one to the other, press
and hold the Up and Down Temp./Timer buttons at the
same time for 3 seconds.
