All the pictures in this manual are for illustrative purposes only. The actual appearance of the air conditioner you purchased may vary slightly, but its operation and functions will be similar.

Air Conditioner Operation

This air conditioner is designed to be operated under the following conditions:

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, personal injury, or property damage, read the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance.

NOTE
Always wait 3 minutes when turning the unit off and then on again, or when changing from cool to fan and back to cool. This prevents the compressor from overheating and possibly tripping.

TO BEGIN OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONER, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Set the temperature to the coldest setting.
2. Set the control to HIGH COOL.
3. Adjust the louver for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
4. Once the room feels cool, adjust the temperature to what you find most comfortable.
5. Make sure that the air flow inside and outside is not obstructed by anything.

NOTICE

• The relative humidity of the room should be less than 80%. If the unit is used in a condition with a relative humidity over 80%, there will be condensed water on the surface of the unit.
• Performance may be reduced outside of these operating temperatures.

Before you begin, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the control panel as shown below and all its functions, then follow the symbols for the functions you desire. The unit can be controlled by the unit control panel alone or with the remote control.

Air Conditioner Features – MAW05M Model

NOTICE
The controls featured in this manual are representative of many available models. Your model’s features and appearance may vary slightly.

THERMOSTAT

The thermostat is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being operated in the COOL MODE. To set the desired room temperature, rotate the thermostat switch to the desired setting. After the set temperature is achieved, the thermostat will automatically start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature. Rotate the thermostat selector clockwise for higher cool settings. Higher cool settings will provide a lower room temperature. Rotate the thermostat selector counterclockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool settings will provide a higher room temperature.

COOL MODE

The desired cool setting is selected by rotating the knob clockwise to the desired position. High Cool has maximum cooling effect and airflow. Low Cool has a minimum cooling effect and airflow.

FAN MODE

Rotate the knob counterclockwise to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation.

NOTICE
When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before you begin, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the control panel as shown below and all its functions, then follow the symbols for the functions you desire. The unit can be controlled by the unit control alone or with the remote controller.

TO TURN UNIT ON OR OFF: Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on or off.

NOTICE
The unit will automatically initiate the Energy Saver function under Cool, Dry, Auto (only Auto-Cooling and Auto-Fan) modes.

TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE SETTING: Press the Power button to turn the unit on or off.

NOTICE
Press or hold either UP/DOWN button until the desired temperature is seen on the display. This temperature will be automatically maintained anywhere between 62°F (17°C) and 86°F (30°C). If you want to display the actual room temperature, see To Operate on Fan Only section.

TO ADJUST FAN SPEEDS: Press to select the Fan Speed in four steps-Auto, Low, Med or High. Each time the button is pressed, the fan speed mode is changed. In dry mode, the fan operates on Low speed automatically.

SLEEP FEATURE:

Press Sleep button to initiate the sleep mode. In this mode the selected temperature will increase by 2°F/1 (or 2)°C 30 minutes after the mode is selected. The temperature will then increase by another 2°F/1 (or 2)°C after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 7 hours before it returns to the originally selected temperature. The Sleep mode program can be cancelled at any time during operation by pressing the Sleep button again.

CHECK FILTER FEATURE:

The Check Filter feature is a reminder to clean the air filter for a more efficient operation. The light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. After cleaning the filter, press the Filter button to reset the Check Filter function, turning the light off.

ENERGY SAVER FEATURE:

Press the Energy Saver button to initiate this function. This function is available on COOL, DRY, and AUTO (only AUTO-COOLING and AUTO-FAN) modes. The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10-minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on and Cooling resumes.

CCOMFORTSENSE FEATURE:

The ComfortSense function enables the remote control to measure the temperature at its current location. When using AUTO, COOL, or HEAT functions, measuring ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit itself) will enable the air conditioner to optimize the temperature around you and ensure maximum comfort. This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes until the ComfortSense button is pressed again. If the unit does not receive the ComfortSense signal during any 7-minute interval, the unit will beep to indicate the ComfortSense mode has ended.

TO SELECT THE OPERATING MODE:

To choose the operating mode, press the Mode button. The unit cycles through the modes, Auto, Cool, Dry, and Fan. The adjacent indicator light will remain on once the mode is selected. The unit will automatically initiate the Energy Saver function under Cool, Dry, Auto (only Auto-Cooling and Auto-Fan) modes. To operate in Auto mode:

• The fan speed is automatically controlled based on the temperature setting and room temperature and cannot be adjusted.
• The air conditioner will control the room temperature automatically according to the temperature you’ve set.
• In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted, as it’s automatically controlled according to the temperature setting and room temperature.

To operate on Fan Only:

• Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air (on some models). (Remember to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you prefer.
• During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode.
• In Fan Only mode, the temperature is not adjusted.

To operate in Dry mode:

In this mode, the air conditioner will generally function as a dehumidifier. Since the conditioned space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will occur.

TIMER: AUTO START/STOP FEATURE:

• When the unit is on or off, first press the Timer button. The TIMER ON indicator light illuminates, indicating the Auto Start program has initiated.
• When the time of TIMER ON is displayed, press the Timer button again. The TIMER OFF indicator light illuminates. It indicates the Auto Stop program has initiated.
• Press or hold the UP or DOWN button to change the Auto time by 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining until start.
• The selected time will register in 5 seconds, and the system will automatically revert to display the previous temperature setting or room temperature when the unit is on. (When the unit is off, there is no display.)
• Turning the unit ON or OFF at any time or adjusting the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the Auto Start/Stop timed program.
• If setting ON 0.5 and OFF 1 at the same time, the unit will be activated for 0.5 hour, operate for 0.5 hour, and then stop.

Displays:

Shows the set temperature in “°C” or “°F” and the Auto-timer settings. While on Fan Only mode, it shows the room temperature.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

• Push the vent handle to the closed position (where applicable). Open the front panel.
• Take the filter by the center and pull up and out.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
• Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
• You may also vacuum the filter clean rather than washing.

NOTICE
Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent a shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleansers, wax, or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in the air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.
