This document is an owner's manual for a FACTO Window Air Conditioner, model number MWK-08CMN1-BJ8, with product number 87795007. It provides essential information for safe operation, installation, usage, and maintenance of the unit.

Function Description

The FACTO Window Air Conditioner is designed to cool indoor spaces by removing heat and moisture from the air. It operates as a window-mounted unit, suitable for standard double-hung windows. The air conditioner features a cooling mode and a fan-only mode, allowing users to select between active cooling and simple air circulation. It is equipped with a thermostat to maintain a desired room temperature and directional louvers to control airflow. The unit also incorporates a current detection device in its power supply cord to reduce the risk of fire.

Important Technical Specifications

• Model Number: MWK-08CMN1-BJ8
• Product Number: 87795007
• Window Opening Width: 22 1/2 to 36 inches (572mm to 914mm) for standard double-hung windows.
• Minimum Vertical Opening: 14 inches (356mm).
• Operating Temperature Range (Outdoor): 18°C to 43°C (64°F to 109°F).
• Setting Temperature Range: 17°C to 30°C (62°F to 86°F).
• Relative Humidity: Designed for conditions with relative humidity less than 80%. Operation above 80% relative humidity may result in condensed water on the unit's surface.
• Power Supply: Equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug and a current detection device in the power cord.
• Compressor Start Delay: Features an automatic 3-minute time-delayed start in Cool mode to prevent overheating and circuit breaker tripping.

Usage Features

• Cool Mode: Allows selection of desired cooling intensity and airflow. The knob can be rotated to settings ranging from minimum cooling/airflow to maximum cooling/airflow, with intermediate options.
• Fan Mode: Provides air circulation without engaging the compressor. This mode can also be used to remove stale air or draw fresh air into the room, especially on models with a vent control.
• Thermostat: Used to set and maintain the desired room temperature in Cool mode. The unit automatically cycles the compressor on and off to achieve and hold the set temperature.
• Air Directional Louvers: Adjustable louvers allow users to direct airflow Up, Down, Left, or Right to optimize air distribution throughout the room. Horizontal louvers pivot for Up/Down direction, and levers move side-to-side for Left/Right direction.
• Temperature Display: The control is capable of displaying temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Conversion between units is achieved by pressing and holding the Left and Right Temp/Timer buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
• Power Cord Current Device: The power supply cord includes a TEST and RESET button to check the functionality of the current detection device, which is designed to reduce fire risk. Users must ensure the RESET button is engaged for proper operation.
• Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes critical safety instructions, including proper grounding, avoiding damaged power cords, not operating with wet hands, and ensuring adequate ventilation. It also warns against using the unit for special purposes like preserving precision devices or food.

Maintenance Features

• Air Filter Cleaning: The air filter should be checked at least once a month. Trapped particles can reduce efficiency and cause frost accumulation on cooling coils. The filter can be removed by opening the front panel, grasped by the center, and pulled out. It can be washed with liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water, rinsed thoroughly, and air-dried, or vacuumed clean. Hot water above 40°C (104°F) should not be used.
• Cabinet Cleaning: The cabinet and front panel can be dusted with an oil-free cloth or wiped with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Harsh cleaners, wax, or polish should not be used. Excess water should be removed from the cloth before wiping around controls to prevent damage.
• Winter Storage: If storing the unit for winter, it should be carefully removed from the window according to installation instructions, covered with plastic, or returned to its original carton.
• Filter Security: Filters must always be inserted securely. Operation without filters may cause unit failure.
• Installation Bracket Check: The installation bracket for the outdoor appliance should be checked periodically for damage, as a damaged bracket could lead to the unit falling.
