Setting The Fan Speed  
Press the SPEED button to choose the fan speed you require, high or low.  
Mounting the unit  
This unit is a portable air conditioner. It can be moved from room to room so that the cooling  
can follow you anywhere. Fitting the exhaust hose is easy, through a window or wall.  
Please refer to either of the following ways:  
The indicator of high or low fan will light up at the same time.  
If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will select the fan speed automatically according to the  
ambient temperature (the related indicators, cool, fan or heat will light up), at this time the  
fan speed switch is invalid.  
1. Using the foam strips  
Setting the Timer  
Press the TIMER button to set the operating hours you desire (1 to 12 hours, the timer  
indicator will light up). When the set time has elapsed, the machine will turn off  
automatically. The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press the TIMER  
button. If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.  
By pressing the timer button but without turning on the unit, you  
can PRE-SET the time for the machine to work. For example, if you  
press the timer to ‘2’, the unit will come on automatically after 2 hours.  
All the above functions can also be performed with the supplied remote  
control. This remote control requires 2 AAA batteries to operate.  
• Connect the supplied foam strips with the exhaust pipe, let the hot air flow to the outside.  
• Should the foam strip(s) be too large, cut off the extra part to fit the window.  
Regulating the airflow direction  
Turn the roller on the air vent to control the  
airflow direction from the vertical louvers.  
2. Using the Through the Wall  
Notice!  
• To prolong the unit’s life, it will start 3 minutes after the unit was switched on. After switching  
off, please wait at least 3 minutes before switching it on again.  
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan,  
however, keeps working at the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the chosen  
temperature +5˚F, the cooling will resume.  
• In heating mode, the compressor will switch off if the room temperature is HIGHER than the  
set one (The fan  
keeps working at the set level)  
. As the room  
temperature drops below the selected level –5˚F, the heating will resume.  
• This machine is equipped with an ANTI-FROST function. While using the heating function  
during low temperatures, sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the  
internal frost. When this occurs just wait for heating to resume.  
• Make a hole (5" in diameter) in the wall to fit the supplied round connector.  
• Fit the hose directly to the round connector.  
• When the hole is not in use, use the cap for the round connector to cover the hole.  
• As you switch on the heating, the fan will stop for 15-20 seconds first for warm up purposes.

Drainage  
During the process of cooling or heating, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of  
this water is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most  
Portable Air Conditioners. If the unit is operated in VERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container  
inside the unit. If the water container is full, the compressor and fan will stop. The POWER indicator will  
blink to inform you to empty the
