SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not use the unit if the power cord is frayed, cracked
or otherwise damaged. A damaged power cord must be
replaced with a new power cord obtained from the
manufacturer and not repaired. Contact ClimateRight for
repair and replacement details.

Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle.

Connect to a properly grounded 120V outlet. Do not
remove the ground prong. The power outlet must be
easily accessible and located within the length of the
power cord supplied with the unit.

This unit is designed to be used outdoors. When plugging
the unit into an outdoor outlet, the outlet must be a GFCI
outlet and have a weatherproof while-in-use receptacle
cover.

The unit should be plugged into its own circuit. If other
devices are plugged into the same circuit, the fuse or
breaker may trip due to excessive amperage draw.

Internal parts of the unit may get hot such as the
condenser, compressor and copper piping. Do not
remove the outer cover and touch these parts.

There are moving parts inside the unit. Do not put any
body part inside of the unit.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Use of an extension cord is not recommended.  Using an
extension cord could prevent the unit from operating
normally and could potentially pose a fire and safety risk.  It is
recommended that unit is located near a 3-prong 120V GFCI
outlet.  If one is not near, one should be installed by a
qualified electrician.

5. REMOTE CONTROL

INSTALLING BATTERIES

To Insert the Batteries in the Remote Control:

Remove the battery cover by sliding it according to the
arrow direction.

Insert two new AAA alkaline batteries, matching the (+)
and (–) of the battery to the orientation in the battery
compartment.

Reattach the cover by sliding it back into position.

Important Notes:

Remove the batteries from the remote control if the
system is not going to be used for an extended period of
time.

display.

Select the fan speed by using FAN button.

During the AUTO mode, the unit operates at heating mode
when the room temperature is below 68 degrees.  It operates
dehumidifying mode when the room temperature is between
68 and 80 degrees.  It operates at cooling mode when the
room temperature is above 80 degrees.  The timer may be
used with the AUTO mode.

sunlight to a minimum will also improve the cooling
efficiency.

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

MAINTENANCE:

The ClimateRight® climate control unit is a low maintenance
product and does not require much attention if used in
normal environments. However, two components will require
periodic cleaning to ensure maximum heating and cooling
efficiency.

Failure to property care for the ClimateRight® unit as
mentioned above will result in a voided Warranty.

FILTERS

The removable mesh filter installed at the air inlet will
accumulate debris over time. Remove and clean the filter
monthly. If the unit is located in an area with lots of dirt,
debris and pet fur, check and clean the filter weekly.

CONDENSER

The condenser is located on the side of the unit with the
open grid. If the cooling capacity of the unit becomes
degraded, the condenser fins may be dirty. Debris on the fins
will not allow the refrigerant to cool properly.

Use a garden hose with a spray nozzle set on a gentle setting
to rinse away dirt and debris.

EVAPORATOR

If the unit is installed in a location with lots of dirt, debris and
pet fur, the air filter may not screen all contaminants from
the air. If the evaporator becomes heavily soiled with debris,
it may be necessary to clean the evaporator.

To clean the evaporator, carefully remove the sheet metal
surrounding the top and sides of the unit. Use a soft bristle
brush, such as a paint brush to gently brush away the debris
from the evaporator fins. DO NOT use a metal wire brush as
this will damage the fins and could puncture the refrigerant
tubes.
