TO OPERATE ON FAN ONLY:  
YOU WILL SEE:  
Note: Use this function only when cooling is not desired,  
such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air on  
some models. (Remember to open the vent during this  
function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum  
cooling efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you  
prefer. (Except “Auto Fan”).

SLEEP FEATURE:  
YOU WILL SEE:  
Note: In this mode the selected temperature will increase

rature will then increase by another 2 °F after an additional  
30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 7  
hours before it returns to the originally selected tempera-  
ture. This ends the "Sleep" mode and the unit will continue  
to operate as originally programmed. The "Sleep" mode  
program can be cancelled at any time during operation by  
again pressing the "Sleep" button.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW  
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.  
The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3 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.  
There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having  
to roll through to select another mode.  
The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees.  
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.  
EXHAUST CONTROL  
This Exhaust Control allows the air conditioner to either recirculate inside air (CLOSED) or exhaust air to the outside (OPEN).  
The CLOSED position is used when maximum cooling is desired. It may also be used for air recirculation without cooling when the  
air conditioner is set in any FAN position.  
The OPEN position removes stale air from the room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn in through normal passages  
in the home.

4-WAY LOUVERS  
The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct  
the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout  
the room as needed.  
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug  
Care and Cleaning  
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.  
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 during the winter, remove it carefully from  
the window according to the installation instructions. 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.  
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with  
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.  
Energy Saving Ideas  
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.
