Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for
freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used in
freezing outdoor conditions.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan
Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase ▲ /
Decrease ▼ pads to set the desired temperature
between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and
High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode
and High fan with a lower set temperature.
An electronic thermostat 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 thermostat at a lower number and the indoor
air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher
number and the indoor air will become warmer.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the
Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set
temperature.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting
to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes
for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Energy Saver Mode
Controls the fan.
ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the
compressor. This results in wider variations of room
temperature and humidity. Normally used when the
room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan may continue to run
for a short time after the compressor cycles off.
OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the
compressor cycles on and off.
Auto Fan Speed
Fan Only Mode
Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan
speed to provide air circulation and filtering
without cooling. Since fan only settings do not
provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be
entered. The room temperature will appear
in the display.
Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to
automatically set to the speed needed to provide
optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.
If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed
will automatically increase. If the room needs less
cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the
Fan Only Mode.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the
Fan Only Mode.
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. If the Delay 1–24hr
feature was set, it will resume countdown. You may
need to set a new time if desired.

control at the signal receiver on the air
conditioner.
