Each time the button is pressed, the fan speed mode is shifted.
ENGLISH ENERGY SAVER MODE This function is available on COOL mode. The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10-minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on and Cooling Starts. Note that due to modern energy saving regulations, this mode is on by default and you must turn it off if you want the fan to run constantly during cooling mode.
The timer buttons enable two separate functions: one to automatically start the unit within a 24 hour period of time and another to automatically turn off the unit within a 24 hour period of time. These functions are called, respectively, AUTO ON and AUTO OFF. AUTO ON INSTRUCTIONS: 1.

ENGLISH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Side louvers and the rear of the AC must have clear air space to allow enough airflow through the condenser, for heat removal. The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage. Note: Save original carton and these installation instructions for future reference.
Note: For safety reasons, all four (4) screws MUST be securely fastened. SIDE PANEL INSTALLATION NOTE: Top rail and Sliding Panels at each side are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of the unit (5/16”). This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels for any reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained. 1. Place unit on the floor, a bench, or a table.
ENGLISH Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it sits securely inside the frame channel by making slight adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top and bottom rails of the cabinet. Figure 4 Note: If storm window blocks AC, see Figure 13 2. Keep a firm grip on the air conditioner, and carefully place the unit into the window opening so that the bottom of the air conditioner frame is against the windowsill (See Fig. 5).
6. To secure lower sash in place, attach right angle sash lock with 3/4” (19mm) or ½” (13mm) screw as shown. (See Fig.11). 7. Cut foam seal and insert in the space between the upper and lower sashes (See Fig. 12) REMOVING AC FROM WINDOW • • • • • Turn AC off and disconnect power cord. Remove sash seal from between windows and unscrew safety lock. Remove screws installed through frame and frame lock. Close (slide) side panels into frame.
ENGLISH CLEANING & MAINTENANCE SAFETY WARNING To avoid electric shock, fire, damage, or injury while performing maintenance on your unit: • Always turn off and disconnect the air conditioner from electric power. • Never submerge the unit in water or spray liquids directly on the unit. • Never use solvents or other flammable or volatile liquids (examples: paint thinner, acetone, gasoline, etc.) to clean the air conditioner.
If dust has accumulated on the unit, use a soft, dry dusting cloth to wipe it off. If grease or other harder to remove substances is on the unit, use a wrung-out cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean off the grille. CLEANING THE FILTER For energy efficient operation, your filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Units in dusty environments may require more frequent filter cleaning. • The filter simply slides out the right side of your unit.
ENGLISH WATER BUILD-UP IN THE UNIT, SPLASHING NOISE • This is not a problem. This self-evaporative unit is designed allow condensate to build up in the rear of the unit during cooling and dry modes. The rear fan then runs through the pool of water, splashing it upon the evaporator coils, helping to cool them down. This makes the unit more efficient and eliminates the need to hook up a drain hose. THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT STARTS AND STOPS VERY FREQUENTLY.
