In this mode the exhaust adaptor hose MUST be used.
- Press the MODE button until the "Cool" indicator lights.
- Press the "V A" Temp buttons for desired setting.
- Press the FAN button for desired fan speed.
HEATING MODE: (on some models) In this mode the exhaust adaptor hose MUST be used.
- Press the MODE button until the "Heat" indicator lights.
- Press the "V" Temp buttons for the desired heat setting.
- Press the FAN button for desired fan speed.

DRY MODE:
In this mode you do not need to use the exhaust adaptor hose, BUT the water collected must be discharged. See Drainage Section.
- Press the MODE button until the "Dry" indicator lights.
- The fan will run at low speed and the display will show the room temperature.
- Keep doors & windows closed for best effect.
AUTO MODE:
Always have the exhaust hose attached in this mode.
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating (inapplicable for cooling only models), or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically round the temperature point set by you.
Under AUTO mode, you can not select the fan speed.
FAN MODE:
In this mode there is no need to use the exhaust hose or drainage hose. However, if you require stale or smokey air to be removed from the room, hook up the duct accessories as described in the "EXHAUSTING HOT AIR" section.
- Press the MODE button until the "Fan" indicator lights.
- Press the FAN button to choose the desired fan speed.
- The fan will run at the selected speed and the display will show the room temperature.
TIMER OPERATION:
You can set both delay stop and delay start while unit is in ON position or OFF position. When unit is in ON position, first press TIMER button to go to delay stop setting, then "timer off" light will illuminate, tap or hold the UP arrow (V) or the DOWN arrow (A) to change delay stop timer at 0.5 hour increments up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. Then press the TIMER button to confirm the setting (the control will confirm the setting automatically after 5 seconds) and go to delay start setting. Use the same way as above to set the delay start timing. If you don't need to set delay start, press the TIMER button again to exit. After 5 seconds, the control will automatically change the display back to previous temperature display. If you want to check remaining time, press the TIMER button. The delay start operation automatically selects mode, temperature and fan speed the same as last operation you set.
To activate the Timer function when the unit is in Off mode, press TIMER button to first enter delay start and secondly enter delay stop in the same way as above.
To cancel the timer setting, simply tap (V) or (A) button to change the timing to 0.0.
SLEEP OPERATION:
In this mode the selected temperature will increase by 1^30 minutes after the mode is selected. The temperature will then increase by another 1^ after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 7 hours before it returns to the originally selected temperature. This ends the "Sleep" mode and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed. The "Sleep" mode program can be cancelled at any time during operation by again pressing the "Sleep" button.
Note: This feature is unavailable under FAN or DRY modes.

DRAINAGE:
- During the dehumidifying mode, you will need a garden hose (sold separately) to drain the condensate from the unit. Remove the rubber stopper from the hose connector, then screw on a garden hose to the connector as shown on fig 25.
The hose may then:
A. Discharge into a drain that is lower than the unit.
B. Be connected to a condensate pump (sold separately).

- During the Heating mode, you will need to connect a drain hose to the rear of unit as Fig.26

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 will maintain the set temperature within 1^ between 17^ and 30^ (62 F and 86 F).
- The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the other and back, press and hold the "TEMP" Up (A) and Down (V) buttons together for 3 seconds.
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
CARE & CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
- This unit has two filters, they are filter A and B. Grasp the upper panel tab and take off the filter A which behind the grill of the back panel (Fig. 27). Remove the lower filter B by loosening the screw. Take down the air inlet grille, then remove the air filter as shown in Fig.28.
