Operating the Remote Control Power Use the Power button to turn the portable air conditioner on and off. By default when you first use the power button, the unit will begin to operate in cooling mode. The unit will remember the last used mode/settings if you shut down and restart. Auto-Restart: If power to the unit is interrupted, the air conditioner will restart itself in its last used mode/settings once power is restored. The compressor will restart after 3 minutes. Cooling Mode Cooling mode cools and dehumidifies the air. If the ambient temperature drops below the temperature you selected, the compressor turns off and the unit functions with the fan only. When the temperature rises above the temperature you selected, the compressor turns on again. Whether your desired temperature can actually be reached depends on the ambient conditions. The room temperature remaining above the set temperature is normal. NOTE: The exhaust hose must be used in Cooling mode in order to cool a room. To operate the unit in cooling mode: 1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet. 2) Press the Power button on the remote. 3) Press the Mode button until the Mode Indicator Light on the Control Panel turns blue. 4) Select the fan speed by using the Speed button. 5) Set the thermostat by using the Up and Down buttons. The thermostat is adjustable between 61°F - 89°F in one degree increments. You can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing the ºC / ºF Button Dehumidifying Mode During the Dehumidifying mode, the unit will condense water out of the air and exhaust it through the exhaust hose. The ambient temperature in the room will probably drop by a few degrees while using the Dehumidifying mode. To operate the unit in dehumidifying mode: 1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet. 2) Press the Power button on the remote. 3) Press the Mode button until the Mode indicator light turns amber on the Control Panel. NOTES: If the room temperature is below 77ºF, the fan will always run on low speed while in the Dehumidifying mode. If you do not use the exhaust hose in Dehumidifying mode, you must manually drain the water from the unit. Additionally, the ambient temperature in the room will probably rise by a few degrees if you do not use the exhaust hose. You will be not be able to change the thermostat temperature or fan speed while in Dehumidifying Mode. 13
