Turning the Air Conditoner ON or OFF Press POWER to turn the air conditoner ON or OFF. IMPORTANT: ■ If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker. ■ Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly. NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will operate at the previous settings when the power is restored. Display During normal operation, display will show the current room temperature. When the Timer/Temp Adjust + and - buttons are pressed, the unit will display the set temperature or delay time. Selecting the Mode The Mode button has three settings: ■ Cool ■ Dehumidify ■ Fan Press the MODE button until the indicator light below the desired setting is lit. Cooling (COOL) Mode In Cooling mode, the air conditioner cools air from the room and vents hot air to the outdoors through the vent hose. Adjust fan speed and the temperature setting to t your desired comfort level. Temperature setting range is 61°F–95°F (16°C–35°C). IMPORTANT: The vent hose must exhaust to the outdoors when using Cooling mode. Dehumidify (DEHUM) Mode Air is dehumidied as it passes through the unit, without being in full cooling mode. For temperatueres above 77°F (25°C), the fan speed is adjustable. If the termperature is 77°F (25°C) or below, the fan speed is set automatically to LOW and cannot be adjusted. IMPORTANT: For best results, the continuous drain hose should be connected and the vent hose should not be exhausted to the outside, allowing the warm to recirculate into the room. Fan (FAN) Mode In this mode, only the fan will run. Air is circulated through the room with no cooling. NOTE: The air conditioner does not need to be vented to the outdoors in Fan mode. Selecting the Fan Speed The Fan Speed has 2 settings: ■ LOW ■ HIGH Press the SPEED button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit. Adjusting the Temperature Press the Timer/Temp Adjust + and - buttons to adjust the set temperature up or down in 1° increments. Temperature setting range is 61°F–90°F (16°C–32°C). After 15 seconds, the display will return to the current room temperature. NOTE: Temperature may only be adjusted in Cooling Mode When in TIMER mode, pressing the Timer/Temp Adjust + and - buttons will adjust the delay time for the air condtioner to shut off or turn on. Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius: Press both + and - buttons at the same time to toggle the displayed units between °F and °C.

COOL mode with the last temperature and fan settings used. Other Functions Bucket Full Indicator This air conditioner has an internal tank to hold accumulated water from the condenser. Normally, this water is evaporated and exhausted to the outside. However, in periods of high humidity, the internal tank may become full. If this happens, the Bucket Full indicator will be lit and the air conditioner will turn off until the internal tank is emptied. See “Care and Cleaning”. Using the Remote Control The functions on the remote control operate the same way as the touch controls on the air conditioner control panel. NOTE: ■ Do not drop the remote control; it may damage the remote control. ■ Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for a month or longer. ■ Dispose of used batteries responsibly. NOTE: The remote uses two AAA 1.5V batteries (included). Replace batteries after approximately 6 months of use. To remove the batteries: Remove the battery compartment cover and remove the batteries. To reinstall the battery: Place the batteries into the battery compartment as shown, then reinstall the cover. Replacing the batteries in the remote Normal Operating Sounds When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as: ■ Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser. ■ Air movement from the fan. ■ Clicks from the thermostat cycle. ■ Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction. ■ A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern high-efciency compressor cycling on and off. NOTE: Remote control may vary in appearance. 95116_AMAP081AW_Amana_portable.indd 8 12/1/2016 1:48:41 PM9 Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of dependable service.

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. WARNING Air conditioner seems to run too much ■ The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of more efcient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efciency. Refer to the efciency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in BTU/h) marked on the air conditioner. ■ The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat- producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat- producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on the size of the room being cooled . Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not cool room in cooling mode ■ The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms. ■ The lter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the lter. ■ There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. ■ The air intakes are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc. ■ The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room. ■ Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows and doors. ■ The temperature setting is not set to a cool enough setting. Adjust the temperature to a cooler setting by pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed control to the highest setting.
