To adjust timer setting, tap or hold the UP arrow ( ) or DOWN arrow (v) to change the delay time by .5 hour increments up to  
10 hours, then by 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the timer remaining until start (8, 7.5, 7,  
etc.). The Delay Start mode automatically selects cooling with maximum Fan Speed. The temperature maintained will be the  
same as previously set. To change the set temperature, press “COOL” then Up or Down arrows until the desired temperature  
is indicated on the display. After 5 seconds, the control will automatically change the display back to the hours remaining  
until the unit will start/stop. Turning the unit “ON” or “OFF” at any timer will cancel the Delay Start/Stop function. The delay  
Start/Stop feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once this has happened then the above steps have to be

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW  
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should know.  
?
?
The Remote Control will operate all the control panel features, follow the same instructions.  
The "Cool "circuit has an automatic3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off  
and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit  
breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.  
!
!
?
?
The control will maintain any set temperature between 60F and 90F degrees (cooling), 55F and 80F (heating).  
The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from  
one to the other, press and hold the Up and Down Temperature Selection Pads at the same time for 3  
seconds.

Air Conditioner Features (continued)  
4-Way Air Directional Louvers  
The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct air flow up or down, left or  
right throughout the room as needed. To adjust the air directional louvers side-  
to- side, use the center handle as you move it side-to-side.  
(4-WAY)  
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to  
unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.  
Care and Cleaning  
Air Filter Cleaning  
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is  
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an  
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.  
?
?
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.  
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse  
filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is  
thoroughly dry before replacing.  
?
Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.  
Cabinet Cleaning  
?
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The  
cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth  
dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing  
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.  
?
?
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.  
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the  
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the  
air conditioner.  
?
Plug in air conditioner.  
Winter Storage  
If you plan to store the air conditioner for the winter, cover it with plastic or  
return it to the original carton.  
NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged,  
store air conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.  
Energy Saving Ideas  
?
?
?
?
?
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or  
outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.  
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient  
and satisfactory operation.  
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window  
that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.  
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not  
escape up the chimney and into the duct work.  
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of  
the day.  
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”  
?
?
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm  
air out and cool air in.  
?
?
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the  
air conditioner's work load.  
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and  
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
