Installation
Setting The Fan Speed
Press the SPEED button to choose the fan speed you require, high or low.
The indicator of high or low fan will light up at the same time.
Mounting the unit
This unit is a portable air conditioner. It can be moved from room to room so that the cooling
can follow you anywhere. Fitting the exhaust hose is easy, through a window or wall.
Please refer to either of the following ways:
If the unit is in AUTO mode, it will select the fan speed automatically according to the
ambient temperature (the related indicators, cool, fan or heat will light up), at this time the
fan speed switch is invalid.
1. Using the foam strips
Setting theTimer
Press theTIMER button to set the operating hours you desire (1 to 12 hours, the timer
indicator will light up).When the set time has elapsed, the machine will turn off
automatically.The display window will show the hour(s) you set as you press theTIMER button.
If the timer button is not pressed, the unit will work continuously.
By pressing the timer button but without turning on the unit, you can PRE-SET the time for
the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to ‘2’, the unit will come on
automatically after 2 hours.
All the above functions can also be performed with the supplied remote
control. This remote control requires 2 AAA batteries to operate.
• Connect the supplied foam strips with the exhaust pipe, let the hot air flow to the outside.
Regulating the airflow direction
Turn the roller on the air vent to control the
airflow direction from the vertical louvres.
• Should the foam strip(s) be too large, cut off the extra part to fit the window.
2. Using theThrough theWall Connection
Notice!
• To prolong the unit’s life, it will start 3 minutes after the unit was switched on.
After switching off, please wait at least 3 minutes before switching it on again.
• The cooling system will switch off if the room temperature is lower than set. The fan, however,
keeps working at the set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the chosen temperature +5°F,
the cooling will resume.
• In heating mode, the compressor will switch off if the room temperature is HIGHER than
the set one (still, the fan keeps working at the set level). As the room temperature drops below
the selected level -5°, the heating will resume.
• This machine is equipped with an ANTI-FROST function. While using the heating function during
low temperatures, sometimes the heating will stop for a while in order to melt the internal frost.
When this occurs just wait for heating to resume.
• Make a hole (43/8" in diameter) in the wall to fit the supplied round connector.
• Fit the hose directly to the round connector.
• As you switch on the heating, the fan will stop for 15-20 seconds first for warm up purposes.
• When the hole is not in use, use the cap for the round connector to cover the hole.

Setting Mode/Function
Press the MODE button to select the required working mode: Automatic, Cooling, Fan or Heating (Heating is only
available forWA-1010H).The green indicator illustrating your selected mode lights up. It is recommended to select
Cooling or Heating mode and set your desired temperature, as the Auto mode has a preset temperature (please see
below) that cannot be changed.
The indicators of the functions in progress come on at the same time,e.g.Cool and Lo = Cooling mode with Low fan speed.
WARNING!
Auto Mode
The length of the exhaust pipe is specially
designed according to the specification of
this product.
When this mode is selected, the unit is preset to the following temperature settings and unit will only start to:
• Cool when room temperature is higher than 75ºF
• Heat when room temperature is lower than 68ºF (WA-1010H only)
Do not replace or extend it with your own hose
as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
If room temperature is between 68ºF and 75ºF, unit will stay in Fan mode. Again, when inAuto Mode, the temperature
settings cannot be changed.
Setting theTemperature in Cooling or Heating Mode
The display window’s default is to display the ambient room temperature. The green indicator light under RT is on.
(RT = RoomTemperature)
Installation of the Carbon Filter
1. Remove the filter frame from the unit.
2. Separate the filter from the filter frame.
To set your desired temperature, press theTemperature Up or Down buttons (ranging from 64ºF to 90ºF). Each
press will increase or decrease your set temperature by 1ºF. When pressing the temperature up or down buttons,
the window will change to display your set temperature.At this time, the green indicator will light under ST (Set
Temperature). Once the temperature up or down buttons is released, the window will return to displaying the
ambient temperature after a second.
Note: When unit is in the following modes: Auto, Cool, or Heat - the compressor will cool/heat the room to reach
the set temperature. Once the ambient temperature has reached the set temperature, the compressor will stop and
unit will run in Fan mode. To conserve energy, the compressor will not start immediately after a couple degrees
increase or decrease, but will wait for a 5ºF allowance. For example:
3. Remove the active carbon filter
from its plastic bag.
4. Insert the active carbon filter
into the filter frame.
In Cooling Mode with a set temperature of 70ºF
5. Fix the filter by reassembling
the fixer onto the filter frame.
When compressor first stops after reaching 70ºF, unit will auto-switch to Fan.
Compressor will start cooling again when ambient temperature increases to 75ºF or above.
6. Re-fit the filter frame
inside the unit.
In Heating Mode with a set temperature of 72F
When compressor first stops after reaching 72ºF, unit will auto-switch to Fan.
Compressor will start heating again when ambient temperature drops to 67ºF or below.
7. It is recommended to
replace the carbon filter
every 3 to 6 months.
In Auto Mode (with preset temperature of 68ºF for heat and 75ºF for cool)
Compressor will start cooling again when ambient temperature reaches above 80F or will start heating when ambient
temperature drops below 63ºF.

Specifications
Drainage
During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water
is used to cool the unit and make it run more efficiently. This is a feature not found in most Portable Air
Conditioners. If the unit is operated inVERY HUMID air, water will collect in the container inside the unit.
If the water container is full, the compressor will stop, but the fan will continue to circulate the air.
The POWER indicator will blink to inform you to empty the internal container.
To make the cooling function work again, please empty the water by
