HOSES STORAGE:
When the unit is not in use, the hoses could be stored according to the following
steps:
1. Remove the hose assemblies from the unit and the window slider kit.
2. Remove the adaptor A from the hose assemblies.
3. Slide the adaptor A onto the unit.
4. Shorten the hoses to their original size, and put the window hose kits (hose
and adaptor B) onto the hose holders as shown on fig 25.
Fig. 25
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.
ADDITIONAL THINGS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
The control will maintain the set temperature within 1 °C, between 17 °C and
30 °C (62 °F and 86 °F).
The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius. To convert from one to the other and back, press and hold the "TEMP"
Up (
) and Down ( ) buttons together for 3 seconds.
There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting
FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the possibility of having to roll through to select
another mode.
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to
the same setting once power is restored.
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
