Controls
The display will always default to show the room temperature.
When the air conditioner is turned on, it will automatically start in the last mode and fan settings selected.
Cool Mode
Use the COOL mode for cooling and for economy
cooling.
To set the COOL mode:
1. Press the MODE pad until the COOL indicator light is
lit.
2. Press the FAN pad to set HIGH or LOW fan speed.
3. Press + or - to set the desired temperature between
61°F and 89°F in 1°F increments.
After settings have been made, the display will change
back to show the room temperature.
The temperature control is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off
to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the
temperature control at a lower number and the indoor
air will become cooler. Set the temperature control at a
higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.
Constant Cool Mode
Use Constant Cool mode when you do not want the fan to
stop running.
To Set Constant Cool Mode:
1. Press the FAN pad for 3 seconds until the Constant Cool
indicator light is lit.
2. Press the FAN pad to set High or Low fan speed.
DRY Mode—Dehumidification
Use the DRY mode to provide dehumidification only.
The fan will run at a fixed speed at this setting, so a fan
speed cannot be set. Keep windows and doors closed
for the best dehumidifying effects.
To set the DRY mode:
•Press the MODE pad until the DRY indicator light is lit.
In the DRY mode, a set temperature will not be
displayed. After DRY mode has been set, the display will
change back to show the room temperature.
FAN Mode
Use the FAN mode to provide air circulation and filtering
without cooling.
To set the FAN mode:
• Press the FAN pad until the desired indicator light for
HIGH or LOW fan speed is lit.
Power Outage Recovery Feature
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the unit will
automatically re-start in the settings last used after the
power is restored.

NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to COOL, it will take approximately 3 minutes
for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the COOL mode and
HIGH fan speed with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the COOL mode
and HIGH fan speed with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the
COOL mode and LOW fan speed with a middle set
temperature.
NOTE: If you switch from COOL or DRY mode setting to
OFF wait 3 minutes before restarting.
In Cool mode, the fan will cycle off with the compressor
when the room temperature is reached. Then the fan will
cycle 10 minutes off and 2 minutes on to sample the air
temperature.
3. Press + or - to set the desired temperature between 61°F
and 89°F in 1°F increments.
In Constant Cool Mode, the fan will continue running even
when the compressor stops due to the set temperature
being reached.
NOTE: If you switch from a DRY setting to OFF or to a
fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back
to a DRY setting.
If using the unit in the DRY mode as a dehumidifier for
an extended time.
1 . Unplug the power cord.
2. Connect a drain hose (not included) to the center
drain port (see page 9, upper drain #8) and lead hose
to floor drain.
3. Reconnect the power cord and press the MODE pad
until the DRY indicator light is lit.
Since fan only settings do not provide cooling, a set
temperature will not be displayed. After FAN speed has
been set, the display will change back to show the room
temperature.
NOTE: If the TIMER was set before the power outage, it
will need to be reset after power is restored.
