???This appliance has been manufactured to cool, heat and dehumidify domestic environments and should not be used for other purposes.

???The appliance should not be installed where the atmosphere may contain combustible gases, oil or sulphur, or near heat sources.

???Always install the portable air conditioner properly. Incorrect assembly or installation may cause failure to operate including injury, fire and electric shock hazards.

???Do not place the power cord near a heater. It may cause fire or electric shock.

???Do not use the power cord near flammable gas or combustibles such as gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc. It may cause explosion or fire.

???Do not operate or stop the unit by inserting or pulling out the power plug. It may cause fire or electric shock.

???Do not damage or use an unspecified power cord. It may cause fire or electric shock.

???Do not modify the length of the power cord. It will cause fire or electric shock due to heat generation.

???Use the air conditioner on a single outlet circuit. Do not share the outlet with other appliances. It may cause circuit failure.

???Changing the outlet without making the appropriate wiring changes will create an unsafe condition that could result in fire or electric shock. Refer all such work to a licensed and qualified electrician.

???WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) plug. To minimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot grounding wall power outlet. If power outlet does not include a grounding slot, have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use your room air conditioner. Do not cut

or remove the grounding prong from the power plug. If you have doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

???Do not disassemble or modify this appliance. Doing so may cause failure and electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

???TEMPORARY USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD. We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA and UL certified 3-prong grounded extension cords designed and approved specifically for air conditioners.

???To prevent injury from handling sharp objects, do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter.

???Do not block the air inlet or air outlet. It may cause failure of the appliance.

???Always store and transport the air conditioner upright to maintain the compressor in a proper condition. Prior to installation, allow air conditioner to stand upright for 12 hours.

???Only operate the unit on an even horizontal surface to ensure no water leaks.

???This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

NOTE: If you press the POWER button before the set shutdown time has expired, the unit will shut down immediately.

8. SLEEP

The Sleep mode is ideal for nighttime operation, as it automatically reduces the fan speed and minimizes the compressor running, for the quietest operation.

While the unit is ON, press the SLEEP mode button. The unit will switch to low fan speed.

In COOLING mode, the temperature setting automatically increases by 2?? F (1?? C) each hour for the first two hours of operation. As a result, the Sleep function provides most cooling when you first go to bed. The two setting increases while you are sleeping compensate for the typical decrease in ambient temperature as the night progresses. If the ambient temperature becomes 2?? F (1?? C) cooler than the temperature setting, the compressor will turn off. The compressor turns back on when the ambient temperature becomes 2?? F (1?? C) warmer than the ambient temperature.

In HEATING mode, the temperature setting is automatically DECREASED like above, and the compressor turns off if the ambient temperature becomes 2?? F (1?? C) BELOW

the setting.

If desired, the fan speed can be manually changed while in SLEEP mode. SLEEP mode cannot be activated while the unit is in DEHUMIDIFY mode.
