EdgeStar Portable Air Conditioner 12
Operating the Remote Control
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 and the front panel will be illuminated in blue.
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. The front panel
lights will be blue.
Whether your desired temperature can actually be reached depends on
the ambient conditions. The room temperature remaining above the set
temperature is normal.
To operate the unit in cooling mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the
Power button on the remote control.
3) Press the
Mode button until the cooling indicator is selected.
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 64°F - 90°F in one degree increments.
You can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing the
button.
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. The front panel lights will be yellow.
To operate the unit in dehumidifying mode:
1) Make sure the power cord is plugged into a power outlet.
2) Press the Power button on the remote control.
3) Press the
Mode button until the dehumidify indicator is
selected.

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 not be able to change the thermostat temperature
while in Dehumidifying Mode.
