S GUIDE
This air conditioner is designed to create a comfortable climate for individuals in the
affected room. It can cool and dehumidify the air completely automatically and also
provide heat using a heat pump. Air pulled by the fan enters through the grill of the
front panel and passes through the filter, which traps dust inside. Air is then sent to
the heat exchanger and is cooled, dehumidified, or re-heated by the heat exchanger.
Heat removed from the air is then sent outside. When the cycle is finished, the fan
sends the freshened air back into the room. The direction of the air outlet is
regulated by the flaps, which are motorized to move up and down as well as side to
side by the vertical directors.
Auto Mode: The auto mode allows the air conditioner to maintain a pre-programmed
temperature of 76 degrees in the affected room. While in this mode, the air
conditioner will automatically select the appropriate fan speed and mode of
operation, COOL or HEAT, to maintain that temperature.
Cooling Mode: The cooling mode allows the air conditioner to cool the room while
dehumidifying the air at the same time. To activate the cooling mode, press the
MODE button on the remote until the symbol is pointing to COOL on the remote’s
display. The desired cooling temperature is set by using the TEMP buttons
on the remote to set the system to a temperature lower than that of the room.
Dry Mode: The system can be set to run in DRY mode, reducing the humidity of the
air in the room for increased comfort. To activate the dry mode, press the MODE
button on the remote until the symbol is pointing to DRY on the remote’s display.
The air conditioner will automatically cycle between cooling and fan only modes to
dehumidify the air.
Heating Mode: The heating mode allows the air conditioner to produce hot air using
a heat pump. To activate the heating mode, press the MODE button on the remote
until the symbol is pointing to HEAT on the remote’s display. The desired
heating temperature is set by using the TEMP buttons on the remote to set
the system to a temperature higher than that of the room.
Fan Mode: The system can be set to run in FAN mode, providing ventilation only. To
activate the fan mode, press the MODE button on the remote until the symbol is
pointing to FAN on the remote’s display. Pressing the FAN SPEED button while in
this mode changes the fan speed to LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, and AUTO. The remote
control will automatically save the last fan speed setting from the previous time the
system was in operation.
Sleep Function: This system can also function in SLEEP mode, which will
automatically adjust the temperature to maximize comfort during night time sleep.
To put the air conditioner into SLEEP mode, press the SLEEP button on the remote
until the symbol is pointing to SLEEP on the remote’s display. If the system is set
to run using the cooling or dry modes, the set temperature will automatically be
raised by 1 degree every 60 minutes for a total of 2 degrees during the first 2 hours.
If the system is set to run using the heat mode, the set temperature will be gradually
lowered by 2 degrees during the first 2 hours. After 10 hours operating in the SLEEP
mode, the system will switch off automatically.
USER
S GUIDE
Timer Function: The TIMER function allows the system to automatically switch on and off
based on your settings. To set timed start, the system should be turned off. Press TIMER, set
the desired temperature by the pressing the or buttons. Press TIMER again and set the
amount of time, again using the or buttons. Press TIMER again until the display shows
the amount of time entered until the programmed TIMER start. The timer is now set. Before
setting the timer you will need to select the mode of operation, the fan speed, and desired
temperature then turn the system off using the ON/OFF button. To cancel a timed start that
has already been entered, press the TIMER button again.
To set a timed stop, the system should be turned on. Press the TIMER button, then use the
or buttons to set the amount of time desired until the system will automatically stop.
As you do this, the display will show the amount of time the system can be programmed to
stop after. To cancel a timed stop that has already been entered, press the TIMER button
again.
If the system loses power or is turned off, it will be necessary to reset a timed a timed start or
timed stop again using the above instructions. Both timer functions can only be
