Before installing your air conditioner

Finding a suitable location

Make sure that:

Providing the correct power source

Your air conditioner requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply. Ensure your power outlet accepts a 3-prong grounding plug. Do not modify the power plug, use an extension cord, or plug other appliances into the same outlet.

Tools you need (not included)

Installing your air conditioner

Window installation kit

The window installation kit fits windows 19.4" ~ 62.2" (49.3 ~ 158.1cm).

Hardware included:

STEP 1: Connect the exhaust hose to your air conditioner

You need the unit adapter, exhaust hose, and air exhaust passage. Press the exhaust hose into the air exhaust passage and the unit adapter. The elastic buckles on the adapters automatically secure the hose. Insert the unit adapter on the assembled exhaust hose into the lower groove on the air outlet on your air conditioner. Ensure the hook on the adapter aligns with the notch on the air outlet, then press the adapter into the notch to lock it in place.

STEP 2: Assembling the adjustable window slides

Your air conditioner comes with three slides (A, B, and C). You may need two or more slides, and may need to cut a slide to fit your window. Use slide A as it has the opening for the exhaust hose. After adjusting the slides to the correct length, use bolts to secure them.

STEP 3: Preparing the window frame and sash

For hung windows, install slides horizontally. For sliding windows, install slides vertically.

Cut adhesive foam seals A and B to fit the window frame and sash. Remove the seal backings and press the adhesive sides onto the frame and sash. Insert the assembled window slide into the window.

Cut the non-adhesive foam C to fit the width (hung window) or height (sliding window) of the window, then insert the foam between the glass and the window frame to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.

Optional: Install the security bracket using two screws. The security bracket helps keep the window from moving.

STEP 4: Connecting the assembled exhaust hose to the window

CAUTION: To ensure correct exhaustion, do not overextend or bend the exhaust hose. Remove any obstacles within 20 in. (50 cm) of the exhaust hose.

Insert the window slide adapter on the end of the exhaust hose assembly into the hole on the window slide A.

Using your air conditioner

Turning your air conditioner on or off

Press the (power) button on the control panel or the ON/OFF button on the remote control. Note: When you turn off your air conditioner, it won't turn on again for three minutes to protect it.

Auto restart

If your air conditioner turns off unexpectedly due to a power failure, it automatically restarts three minutes after the power is restored.

Selecting the operating mode

Press the MODE button on the control panel or remote control to cycle through the modes. You can select:

Setting the operating temperature

The operating temperature range is 62° ~ 86° F (17° ~ 30° C). Temperature cannot be adjusted in Dry mode.

Press the (fan) button on the control panel or the FAN button on the remote control to select High, Cont. (continuous), Med, or Low. The corresponding indicator lights will illuminate.

In Cool or Dry mode, press and hold the (fan) button or FAN button to make the fan run continuously. Press and hold again to turn off this feature.

Controlling the vent

You can make the vent move up and down continuously or adjust it to your desired angle. CAUTION: Do not manually adjust the vent angle, as you may damage the vent.

Make sure the air conditioner is turned on, then press the SWING button on the control panel or remote control. The vent will automatically move up and down. Press the SWING button again to stop the vent movement at the desired angle.

Setting the timers

Using the remote control:

Using the Sleep feature

Note: The Sleep feature is not available in FAN or DRY mode.

The Sleep feature saves energy by adjusting the temperature up one degree in Cool mode. Press the (sleep) button on the control panel or the SLEEP button on the remote control. After seven hours, the Sleep feature turns off, and the air conditioner returns to the programmed temperature setting.

Setting the shortcut

You can store your favorite settings using the SHORTCUT button on the remote control. Press SHORTCUT to save current settings. Press and hold SHORTCUT for more than two seconds to recall saved settings.

Turning the control panel display on or off

Press the LED button on the remote control to turn the control panel display on or off.

Using the Follow Me feature

Note: The Follow Me feature is only available with the remote control and not in Fan or Dry mode.

When Follow Me is active, the remote control acts as a thermostat, sending the room temperature reading to the air conditioner to optimize temperature control. Press the FOLLOW ME button on the remote control to turn this feature on or off. If the air conditioner does not receive a temperature reading for seven minutes, the Follow Me feature turns off.

Using the dehumidifier feature

Note: Fan speed cannot be changed in Dry mode.

You can use your air conditioner as a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air.

  1. Ensure all windows and doors are closed.
  2. Set your air conditioner to the Dry operating mode.
  3. Remove the upper drain plug and connect a 3/4 in. hose (not included) to the drain hole.
  4. Place the other end of the hose into a drain or container.

Safety guidelines

  3. Restart your air conditioner. The 'P1' error should disappear. If the error repeats, call a qualified technician.

Storing your air conditioner

CAUTION: Store your air conditioner in a cool, dark place. Exposure to direct sunshine or extreme heat can shorten its lifespan.
