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.
Your air conditioner can work as a heat pump. It must be vented for it to
expel the cold air out the exhaust.
To operate the unit in heat 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 “Fan” lights up
red. The thermostat is adjustable between 61°F - 77°F.

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
