Operating the Control Panel
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 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.
To operate the unit in cooling mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the Power button.
3) Press the Mode button until the LED indicator next to “Cooling”
lights up.
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.
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.
3) Press the Mode button until the LED indicator next to
“Dehumidify” lights up.

NOTE: The exhaust hose
must be used in Cooling
mode in order to cool a
room.
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 while in Dehumidifying Mode.
