Press Check Filter button to initiate this feature. This feature is a reminder to clean the Air Filter for more efficient operation. The LED (light) will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. To reset after cleaning the filter, press the Check Filter button and the light will go off.

ENERGY SAVER FEATURE:

Press Energy Saver button to initiate this function. This function is available on COOL, DRY, AUTO (only AUTO-COOLING and AUTO-FAN) modes. 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.

I SENSE FEATURE: (on some models)

Diagram: Shows the remote control with the I SENSE button and a visual indicator for "Light flashing".

This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY. The remote control serves as a remote thermostat allowing for the precise temperature control at its location.

To activate the I SENSE feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the I SENSE button. The remote display is actual temperature at its location. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes interval until press the I SENSE button again. If the unit does not receive the I SENSE signal during any 7 minutes interval, the I SENSE mode will stop.

TO SELECT THE OPERATING MODE:

To choose operating mode, press Mode button. Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a sequence that goes from Auto, Cool, Dry, Heat (cooling only models without) and Fan. The indicator light beside will be illuminated and remained on once the mode is selected.

The unit will initiate automatically the Energy Saver function under Cool, Dry, Auto (only Auto-Cooling and Auto-Fan) modes.

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.

TIMER: AUTO START/STOP FEATURE:

When the unit is on or off, first press Timer button, the TIMER ON indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Start program is initiated.

When the time of TIMER ON is displayed, press the Timer button again, the TIMER OFF indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Stop program is initiated.

Press or hold the UP or DOWN button 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 start.

The selected time will register in 5 seconds, and the system will automatically revert back to display the previous temperature setting or room temperature when the unit is on. (when the unit is off, there is no display.)

Turning the unit ON or OFF at any time or adjusting the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop timed program.

DISPLAYS:

Diagram: Shows a representation of the unit's display panel with labels for "Displays" and "Error codes".

Shows the set temperature in "°C" or "°F" and the Auto-timer settings. While on Fan only mode, it shows the room temperature.

Error codes:

• AS - Room temperature sensor error - Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.
• NOTE: In Fan only mode, it will display "LO" or "HI".
• Evaporator temperature sensor error - Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.
• NOTE: "• "is displayed as shown in the left picture.
• HS - Electric heating sensor error - Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.

NOTE: If the unit breaks off unexpectedly due to the power cut, it will restart with the previous function setting automatically when the power resumes.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.

• 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 is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other, press and hold the Left and Right Temp/Timer buttons at the same time, for 3 seconds.

Air Directional Louvers

Diagram: Shows the air conditioner louvers and center handles, with an arrow indicating "Air Direction (4-way)".

Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the 4-way directional system described below. The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Horizontal, and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Use the center handles to adjust the air directional louvers side-to-side until the desired Left or Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers with your fingertips until the desired Up or Horizontal direction is obtained. There are a total of 4 possible air directional orientations available with this system.

CARE AND CLEANING

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

• Take the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.
