• Annual Operating Cost: The estimated annual operating cost is approximately $124, which is quite reasonable given its cooling efficiency.
  
• Air Flow Volume: High: 277 CFM (High), 258 CFM (Medium), and 235 CFM (Low) allow you to adjust the airflow depending on your cooling needs, with the highest setting providing robust air circulation for larger spaces.
  
• 6-Way Air Flow: The unit features a 6-way airflow system, providing maximum coverage by allowing you to direct the air in multiple directions, ensuring an even and effective cooling throughout the room.
  
• Fan Speed Selections: 3 Cooling Speeds and 3 Fan-Only Speeds allow you to choose between more aggressive cooling or gentle air circulation, depending on the temperature and your comfort needs.
  
• Auto Fan: The auto fan feature adjusts the fan speed automatically to maintain the desired room temperature while optimizing energy use.
  
• Remote Control: The unit comes with an infrared remote control, allowing you to adjust settings from a distance, so you don’t have to get up to manually control the AC. Batteries for the remote control are included, making it ready for immediate use.
  
• Digital Time and Temperature Display: The LCD display shows both the current temperature and time, allowing for easy tracking of settings and time management.
  
• Thermostat Type:Thermistor: provides precise temperature control, ensuring that the room stays consistently comfortable.
  
• On/Off Timer: The unit is equipped with an on/off timer, allowing you to schedule when the air conditioner starts or stops, perfect for energy savings when the room doesn’t need cooling constantly.
  
• Sleep Mode: The sleep mode adjusts the temperature during the night, ensuring that you stay comfortable while also reducing energy consumption, especially useful for maintaining a more consistent and gentle cooling during sleeping hours.
  
• Energy Saver Mode: The Energy Saver mode helps reduce electricity consumption by automatically turning off the compressor when the set temperature is reached, optimizing energy use.
  
• Filter Indicator: The filter indicator light notifies you when it’s time to clean or replace the filter, ensuring continuous clean air and optimal cooling performance.
  
• 1120 Watts (at 230V) and 1190 Watts (at 208V) : This indicates the amount of energy the air conditioner consumes while operating in cooling mode, depending on the voltage supplied to it.
  
• Washable Filters: The unit features permanent mesh, rigid, and washable filters, making maintenance easier. You can simply remove, wash, and reinstall the filters to ensure efficient operation and cleaner air.
  
• Electrical Consumption Standby: The 6 kWh/year low standby consumption helps keep costs down when the unit is not actively cooling.
  
• Overall Width: The overall width of 24 inches ensures the air conditioner is designed to fit neatly into the standard 26-inch cutout width required for built-in installation.
  
• Overall Height: At 15 inches high, this air conditioner is engineered to fit into wall openings that align with typical built-in units, offering a sleek profile that doesn’t protrude far beyond the wall. The height is perfectly sized for mounting in residential and commercial spaces where standard wall installations are required.
  
• Overall Depth: With a depth of 19 inches, the unit is built to sit well within the wall opening, offering the needed internal components for optimal cooling performance without requiring excessive space in the wall cavity. This depth ensures that the necessary parts, like the compressor, coil, and fan, can operate efficiently without interfering with the structure.
  
• Depth to Louvers: Depth to Louvers" measurement of 21 inches refers to the distance from the front of the air conditioner to the louvers. This extra depth ensures that the airflow is properly directed and distributed through the louvers for maximum cooling efficiency. Proper clearance is essential to avoid airflow restrictions and to maintain peak performance.
  
• Voltage: Operates on 230V/208V with a frequency of 60Hz, making it suitable for residential or commercial installations that meet these voltage requirements.
  
• Rated Cooling Amps: 5.4 Amps at 230V indicates a standard power draw that won't put excessive strain on the electrical system.
  
• Plug Type: B / 6-15P: This standard plug ensures compatibility with most electrical systems.
  
• Net Weight: 87 lbs of the unit makes it manageable for through-the-wall installation but still ensures durability and long-lasting performance.
