MECHANICAL CONTROLS

TURN UNIT OFF — To turn the unit OFF, set the
■
dial to the OFF position. The air conditioner will not
operate when the dial is set to OFF.
COOLING MODES — The air conditioner can be
■
set to two different cooling modes — LOW COOL or
HIGH COOL. HIGH COOL mode is recommended for
very warm days or when a fast initial cooling of the
room is desired. LOW COOL mode is recommended on
slightly warm days or after the room temperature has
reached its desired setting.
NOTE: After setting a mode, allow 3 minutes to pass
before changing modes.
FAN MODE —The air conditioner can be set to
■
LOW FAN or HIGH FAN mode. In FAN mode, the fan
operates to circulate the air in the room, but there is
no cooling operation. This mode is used to keep the
room air circulating when cooling is not needed. The
fan can be set to HIGH FAN for maximum air circula-
tion without cooling or LOW FAN for moderate air cir-
culation without cooling.
THERMOSTAT — The thermostat dial is num-
■
bered from 1 to 9. The lowest (least cooling) setting is
1. The highest (most cooling) setting is 9. Turn the
thermostat dial clockwise to lower the room tempera-
ture. Turn the dial counterclockwise to raise the room
temperature.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS

Either the remote control or the control panel on the
air conditioner can be used. The battery of the remote
control will need to be installed before it can be used.
To operate the room air conditioner with the remote
control, aim the remote control to the signal receptor.
(See Fig. 12.) The remote control will operate the air
conditioner at a distance of up to 23 feet when pointing
at signal receptor of the unit.
TURN UNIT OFF/ON — Press the POWER button
■
on the remote control or the ON/OFF button on the
control panel.

THERMOSTAT
NOTE: To switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit, press
the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW buttons on the
control panel (not the remote control) at the same
time.
COOLING MODES — Each time the MODE button
■
is pressed, three different operation modes are
changed in sequence - Cooling, Fan Only, or Energy
Saving. Press the MODE button to select the cooling
mode.
In Cooling mode, the air conditioner will run and
provide cooling. The amount of cooling can be adjusted
with the FAN SPEED button on the control panel. If
the fan speed is set to Auto mode, the fan speed
adjusts automatically from low to high based on the
setting of the thermostat and the actual room
temperature.
In Fan Only mode, the fan operates to circulate the air
in the room, but there is no cooling operation. This
mode is used to circulate the air in the room when
cooling is not required. The amount of circulation can
be adjusted with the FAN SPEED button on the con-
trol panel. Auto cannot be selected in Fan Only mode.
NOTE: When changing modes during operation, the
unit may not respond immediately. Wait 3 minutes
before attempting to switch modes or restarting the
unit.
ENERGY SAVING MODE
■
tioning unit is Energy Saving mode and the Auto fan
speed is selected, the air conditioner will automatically
switch from cooling to fan only mode when cooling is not
required. When the air conditioning unit is Energy Sav-
ing mode and the low, medium or high fan speed is
selected, the air conditioner will run in cooling mode if
the room temperature is 2 degrees higher than the ther-
mostat setting. When the room temperature is lower
than 66 F (19 C), the unit will turn off (no cooling or
fan).
The Energy Saving mode can be selected from the remote
control by pressing the POWER SAVER button.
FAN SPEED — The air conditioner Fan mode can be
■
set to High, Medium, Low, or Auto. Press the FAN
SPEED button on the control panel to change fan
speed. The fan speed will be indicated by the lighted
symbol on the control panel. See Fig. 12. To change the
fan speed on the remote control, press the HIGH, MID
or LOW buttons.
High fan mode is recommended for very warm days or
when a fast initial cooling of the room is desired.
Medium fan mode is recommended on moderately
warm days or when the unit has been operating for
some time and the temperature is about to reach its
desired setting. Low fan mode is recommended on
slightly warm days or after the room temperature has
reached its desired setting. Auto mode adjusts the fan
speed automatically from low to high based on the set-
ting of the thermostat and the actual room tempera-
ture. Auto mode can only be used in Cooling mode.
NOTE: When changing modes during operation, the
unit may not respond immediately. Wait 3 minutes
