IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
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.  
• Do not use this air conditioner for refrigeration purposes (e.g. preserving  
precision devices, food, pets, plants and art objects.)  
• Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency within the room, ventilate the  
room when used together with stoves or other heating devices.  
• To prevent injury from handling sharp objects, do not touch the metal parts  
of the unit when removing the filter.  
• The air conditioner is a consumer comfort appliance, not a precision  
climate control system.  
• 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.  
• Always insert the filter securely. Never operate without a filter.  
• Do not drink water drained from air conditioner. It contains contaminants  
that may make you sick.  
• Do not use this unit in conditions where the temperature may fall below  
50°F (10°C). Failure to do so can cause severe damage to the unit.  
• 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.  
• Do not insert the power plug into a wall outlet if either is loose or  
damaged. It may cause fire and electric shock.  
• Unplug the unit if strange sounds, odors or smoke come from it.  
• Hold the plug by the head when unplugging the unit. Do not pull on the  
cord.  
• Unplug the air conditioner if it will not be used for a long period to  
prevent accidental startup and the possibility of injury.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, and take care so that the  
cord will not be damaged.  
• Clean the air filters regularly. A contaminated air filter reduces capacity.  
• Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use wax, thinners or a strong detergent.  
The appearance of the air conditioner may deteriorate, change color or  
develop surface flaws.  
• Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can  
destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.  
• If water enters the product, turn off the power switch of the main body of  
the appliance.  
• Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be  
hazardous to your health.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
NOTES  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
SOLUTION  
Unit emits odor during operation  
First use of unit, or after  
storage of unit in dusty  
area.  
Odor development can arise upon  
first use and after a long period  
of non-use by storing in unsuitable  
areas (e.g. dusty areas). Run the unit  
for ½ a day. The smell will dissipate  
after awhile. In the case of intense  
odor development, air the room.  
Compressor does not immediately  
activate when power button is  
pressed ON  
Normal operation  
After pressing Power button ON,  
the compressor will not start for 3  
minutes. Conditioned air will start to  
blow once the compressor starts, but  
it may take up to another 5 minutes  
to feel the cooling or warming  
effect in the room.  
The unit deactivates  
Normal operation  
Upon reaching the set temperature,  
the unit switches off automatically.  
Check temperature setting.  
The unit does not cool  
satisfactorily  
Room temperature is high  
when unit is first turned ON  
Air conditioners operate more  
effectively if a cooler room  
temperature is maintained. To  
adequately cool the air in a very  
warm room requires much more time  
and energy.  
Unit is located outdoors  
and outside air temperature  
is very high. Unit will  
Move unit indoors.  
only provide air that is  
approximately 20° cooler  
than outside air.
