Touch the Power button once. The unit will automatically be in Cool
mode with the temperature set at 75°F (24°C) and the fan speed at
F1, the sleep setting.
To set mode of operation
When you rst turn the unit on, it will be in the Cool mode (light on), with
constant fan.
2
Touch the Mode button once to activate the MoneySaver
®
(light on).
MoneySaver
®
is a feature that cycles the fan with the com pres sor
so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and
improves de hu mid i ca tion. Or you may prefer con stant fan for more
air move ment (to return to constant fan, touch the Mode button two
more times).
In order to run the fan by itself, do the following:

Continuing from MoneySaver
®

The FAN ONLY setting will circulate air in the room without the com-
pressor coming on.

®
function
5
COOLER – Touch the
button to lower the room air temperature.
6
WARMER – Touch the
button to raise the room air temperature.
7
Press both the
and buttons at the same time to switch the
temperature readout from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C).

To adjust fan speed
8
Touch the Fan Speed button to see the current setting. Touch it again
to change speed. F1 is the lowest setting (SLEEP SETTING / LOW),
F2 is MEDIUM, and F3 is HIGH.
To activate Smart Fan
9
There is a fourth option, SF, when selecting the fan speed. This is
the SMART FAN function. SMART FAN DOES NOT OPERATE IN
CONJUCTION WITH THE FAN ONLY MODE.
Smart Fan will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain the
desired comfort level. For example, if the outside doors in your home
are opened for an extended period of time, or more people enter a
room, Smart Fan may adjust to a higher fan speed to compensate
for the increased heat load. This keeps you from having to adjust the
fan speed on your own.

Automatic component protection
Your unit is equipped with Automatic Component Protection. To protect the
compressor of the unit, there is a three minute start delay if you turn the unit
off or if power is interrupted. The fan operation will not be affected. Also, if you
switch from Cool mode to Fan Only, and switch back to Cool mode, there
is a three minute delay before the compressor comes back on.
