Net Weight: The lightweight construction of 84 lbs allows easier handling during installation and maintenance.
Cooling BTUH (MAX): 9,400 BTU — The maximum cooling capacity, ideal for slightly larger spaces compared to the AHES07 model, offering efficient cooling even under warmer conditions.
Cooling BTUH (MIN): 9,200 BTU — The lower cooling capacity ensures consistent operation without excessive energy consumption when demand is lower.
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): 11.3/11.4 — The EER rating indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency for cooling. This helps reduce power usage, making it suitable for long-term use without spiking energy bills.
3.5 kW Heating Capacity: Includes an electric resistance heater, offering supplemental heating for cooler months and ensuring the unit can operate year-round for temperature control.
Auto Power Recovery: Restores the unit's previous settings automatically after a power outage, ensuring seamless comfort without having to reset the controls.
Freeze Sentinel: Prevents freezing conditions by activating heating when temperatures are low, ensuring optimal performance.
Automatic Indoor Frost Control: Ensures the unit avoids frost build-up inside, which can cause performance issues.
Slinger Ring Condensate Removal: Helps in efficiently removing water from the condensate, preventing water build-up and improving system performance.
Auto Dimming Display: Automatically dims the display when not in use, minimizing light pollution and adding to the unit’s sleek appearance.
Fan Speed Selections: Offers 2 cooling fan speeds, 2 heating fan speeds, and 2 fan-only speeds, allowing users to adjust airflow for varying conditions and preferences.
Chassis Type: The Slide-in chassis type provides easy installation and replacement in existing wall units.
Control Type: Electronic Controls provide precise control over settings like fan speeds, temperature, and mode selections.
Coverless Control Panel: Designed for ease of use and accessibility, without the need for covers, ensuring quick adjustments.
Concealed Manual Vent Control: The vent control is hidden to keep the unit’s design clean and streamlined while still providing adjustable airflow.
Outdoor Vent/Exhaust: Helps in expelling air from the room, ensuring fresh air circulation and minimizing moisture accumulation.
Cooling and Heating Modes: Offers a Heat-Cool mode, providing both cooling during warmer months and electric resistance heating during colder months, making it a versatile year-round unit.
Temperature Range: Adjustable between 62°F and 80°F, allowing precise control over room temperature to maintain comfort.
Freeze/Frost & Overheat Protection: Integrated safety features to prevent damage to the unit from freezing or overheating.
Self-Diagnostics: Provides the ability to perform self-diagnostics, helping identify any operational issues early and assisting with troubleshooting.
Constant Fan Button: Keeps the fan running continuously to circulate air throughout the space, ensuring consistent temperature distribution.
Remote Thermostat Compatibility: The unit is compatible with a remote thermostat (accessory kit required), offering more precise temperature control for users who want more flexibility in managing room conditions.
Refrigerant Type: The R32 refrigerant provides lower environmental impact and improved efficiency compared to older refrigerants.
Rotary Compressor: Uses a reliable rotary compressor for quiet, smooth operation.
Cooling Amperes: The 4.0/3.8 A indicates the power draw during cooling operation.
Cooling Watts: — The cooling wattage consumption of 830/805 W is slightly higher than the AHES07 model, reflecting the higher BTU capacity.
Heating Watts (Electric Resistance): The 3500 W heating watts provide powerful heating capacity for colder weather.
