How do I turn the unit on?

Press the power ON/OFF pad.

---

How do I change the temperature setting?

Press the up arrow to raise the temperature or the down arrow to lower it. Tap or hold either the up or down button until the desired temperature is displayed. The temperature will be automatically maintained anywhere between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C).

---

How do I adjust fan speeds?

Press the fan faster button to increase the fan speed from Low (LO), to Medium (ME), to High (HI). The digital display will indicate the chosen speed. Press the fan slower button to decrease the fan speed from High (HI), to Medium (ME), to Low (LO). The digital display will indicate the chosen speed. After 5 seconds the display will revert back to the set temperature.

---

How do I use auto cool?

Press the auto cool button. The fan starts at High Speed and adjusts to a slower speed as the room temperature dictates. If the room doesn’t get too warm, it will stay at the slowest speed. If the room temperature rises quickly, such as a door being opened, it will automatically go to the highest speed. The fan speeds will re-adjust back to the slowest speed as the room returns to the original set temperature. Press either the fan slower or fan faster button to adjust the fan speed manually.

---

How do I operate on fan?

Press the mode button, then choose fan. Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air. Remember to open the vent during this function but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency. Any fan speed can be chosen. During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode.

---

How do I use the energy save feature?

Press the mode button, then choose energy save. In this mode, 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 starts.

---

How do I use the timer?

Press the timer button. For Timer Off, the unit must be in the On position. For Timer On, the unit must be in the Off position. To adjust timer setting, tap or hold the UP arrow or the DOWN arrow to change delay timer at 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 (8, 7.5, 7, etc.). The Timer On mode automatically selects cooling with maximum Fan Speed. The temperature maintained will be the same as previously set. To change the set temperature, press “MODE” then Up or Down arrows until the desired temperature is indicated on the display. After 5 seconds, the control will automatically change the display back to the hours remaining until the unit will start/stop. Turning the unit “ON” or “OFF” at any time will cancel the Timer On/Off function. The Timer On/Off Feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated again.

---

What do I do if the display reads “ES” or “AS”?

If the display reads “ES” or “AS”, a sensor has failed. Contact an Authorized SHARP Service Center.

---

How do I turn the unit off?

Press the power ON/OFF button.

---

How do I change the air flow direction?

The horizontal louvers are used to adjust the UP/DOWN direction of air flow, and the vertical louvers are used to adjust the LEFT/RIGHT direction of airflow for uniform and efficient cooling of the room.

---

How do I exhaust air from the room?

To get fresh air, push the exhaust lever toward the unit. For maximum performance, the exhaust vent should be closed when cooling.

---

How do I install batteries in the remote control?

Use two size-AAA (R03) batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert and slide the batteries into the compartment, making sure the (+) and (-) polarities are properly aligned.
3. Close the cover.

---

What are some notes about using the remote control?

• The battery life is approximately one year with normal use.
• When you replace the batteries, always use two new ones of the same type.
• If the remote control does not operate normally after replacing the batteries, take out the batteries and replace them again after 30 seconds.
• If the unit will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

---

How do I use the remote control?

Point the remote control towards the unit’s receiver window and press the desired button. A beep will sound when the unit receives the signal. Make sure no objects, such as curtains, block the receiver window. The remote control operates from up to 20 feet (6 meters) away. The beep will also sound when each pad on the control panel is touched.

---

What are some cautions when using the remote control?

• Do not expose the receiver window to direct sunlight, as this can adversely affect its operation. In such case, close the curtains to block the sunlight.
• Use of a fluorescent lamp in the same room may interfere with the transmission of the signal.
• The unit may be affected by signals emitted from the remote control of a television, VCR or other equipment used in the same room.
• Do not leave the remote control exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater. Protect the remote control from moisture and shock which can discolor or damage it.

---

How do I clean the filter?

The filter should be cleaned every 10 days. At the beginning of every cooling season or after a long period of inactivity, clean the filter before starting the unit.

1. Open the front panel and get the filter out.
2. To remove dust from the filter, use a vacuum cleaner or wash it in clean water. If the filter is very dirty, wash it with detergent and rinse carefully with clean water. Dry the filter with a soft cloth. Do not expose the filter to heat or dry it in direct sunlight.
3. Put the filter into its original position and close the front panel. Never operate the unit without installing the filter, as it may result in serious damage to the unit.

---

How do I clean the front panel and cabinet?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth or with a cloth moistened with a mild soap. Rinse carefully by wiping with a damp cloth and dry completely. Avoid splashing the unit with water, as excess water can damage electrical insulation and result in danger. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on any part of the unit. To avoid damage to the unit, do not use hot water (120°F / 50 ‘C or more) when cleaning.

---

Is oiling of the compressor and fan motor necessary?

No, the compressor is permanently lubricated and is hermetically sealed. The fan motor is lifetime sealed and does not require oiling.

---

How do I remove the air conditioner?

Before removing the air conditioner, operate the unit in the FAN mode with high fan speed on a dry day, for about half a day to thoroughly dry the water inside the air conditioner unit.

---

What should I check before calling for service?

If the air conditioner does not operate properly, check the following items before calling for service.

---

How do I check the power plug?

This air conditioner uses a fused power plug. Always check the power plug before use.

1. Press the RESET button.
2. Insert the power plug into the wall socket.
3. Press the TEST button. You will hear a CLICK if the circuit breaker is functioning correctly.
4. Press the RESET button until you hear another CLICK.

The circuit breaker is activated, power is supplied, and the air conditioner is now ready for use. Do not attempt to use the air conditioner if the above procedure is impossible, as it is malfunctioning. Disconnect the power plug and request service.

---

What do I do if the air conditioner does not operate at all?

• Is the unit plugged in or is the plug loose?
• Is the fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
• Did you restart the unit within 3 minutes after a power failure? If the power was off for less than 3 minutes, and you restarted the air conditioner within 3 minutes, a protective device may cause the compressor to shut off, preventing cooling for about 5 minutes.

---

What do I do if the air conditioner does not properly cool?

• Is the MODE set to fan only Mode? Cooling will not take place in the fan only mode. Change the MODE setting.
• Is the filter clogged with dust? A dirty filter can cause the cooling coils to freeze. If this happens, clean the filter and replace it. Run the air conditioner on the MED FAN setting until all ice dissipates.
• Is the temperature set properly? If your room is too warm, adjust the temperature setting lower.
• Is the window exposed to direct sunlight? Close curtains or blinds to minimize solar energy heating the room.
• Are the windows or doors open? Close all windows and doors for maximum cooling.

---

Is water in the bottom tray normal?

Yes, water will collect in the bottom tray of the unit, which is normal. Water condenses on the evaporator coil at the front of the unit and is channeled to the rear where it is picked up by the condenser fan. The water is blown onto the condenser coil fins and this creates a “splashing” noise which is normal. If excess water builds up in this tray it will drain outside through a grooved channel in the tray.

---

What about operating sounds?

The operating sound may seem rather loud for 2 to 3 minutes when the unit is first turned on. This is the sound of the compressor’s start-up and is normal. A soft, swishing noise can be heard immediately after the unit is turned on or off, and also during operation, which is the sound of the refrigerant flowing inside the unit.

---

What should I do if the unit fails to receive the remote control signal?

• Check the remote control batteries and replace them if necessary.
• Try to send the signal again with the remote control pointed directly at the unit’s receiver window.
• Check whether the remote control batteries are installed with the polarities properly aligned.
