AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE FOR UNIT OPERATION MODE TEMPERATURE RANGE Cool 61°F - 95°F (16°C - 35°C) Dry 61-89°F | 16-32°C TECHNICAL DATA What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner? The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won't cool adequately while one that's too large will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER The appliance can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the POWER button on the control panel or the ON/OFF button on the remote control COOLING MODE In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the COOL indicator light comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS SLEEP MODE In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in cooling mode, decreases the noise level and conserves energy. The temperature will then increase by another 1°C/ 1°F after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will remain the same for 7 hours. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button until the SLEEP indicator light comes on.
REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLING BATTERIES To insert the batteries, open the flap on the back of the remote control by sliding if off. Strictly adhere to the polarity signs on the bottom of the battery housing, close the flap once the batteries have been inserted. • Only use two dry LR03 AAA 1.5V Batteries (included) in the remote control • Always change both batteries at the same time REPLACING THE REMOTE BATTERIES This air conditioner comes with two AAA batteries.
TIPS 1. Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible. The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp bends or twists to maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9'. 2. Turn the air conditioner on early. Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be more effective.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS The unit turns on but the compressor does not turn on (the fan runs but the unit is not cooling) • The room temperature is outside of the operational tolerances of the unit • The Cooling mode is not on • The compressor has not turned on yet because of its time delay • The set temperature is too high • The internal water reservoir is full • This unit is designed to work in ambient temperatures of 61°F to 95°F.
