Operating Instructions
Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from
draining properly. To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece
should have a depth of at least 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher
than the storm window frame. This will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (15K
See FIG.1 ).
Prior to Installing the Air Conditioner
1. Check for anything that could block airow. Check the area outside of the window for things such
as shrubs, trees, or awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not
prevent proper airow.
2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit
serial nameplate (located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is
close enough for the power cord to reach.
3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the oor is
protected when removing. Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the
unit together.
WARNING
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges and aluminum ns on the
front and rear coils.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new and to minimize dust build-up.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
The air lter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles
and dust can build up in the lter and may decrease airow as well as cause the cooling coils to
accumulate frost. To clean the air lter:
1. Remove the lter by pulling down on the indents of the
lter door on the front of the unit. (See FIG. 16)
2. Wash the lter using liquid dish soap and warm water.
Rinse the lter thoroughly. Gently shake the lter to
remove excess water.
3. Let the lter dry completely before placing it into the
air conditioner.
4. If you do not wish to wash the lter, you may vacuum
the lter to remove the dust and other particles.
WEAR AND TEAR
To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before changing modes.
This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.
CABINET CLEANING
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a re hazard. The cabinet and front panel of the air
conditioner may be dusted with an oil free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of
warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
WINTER STORAGE
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for an extended period of time, remove it carefully
from the window according to the installation instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in the

hOme™offers a limited two-year warranty (“warranty period”) on all of our products purchased new
and unused from hOme Technologies, LLC or an authorized reseller, with an original proof of purchase
and where a defect has arisen, wholly or substantially, as a result of faulty manufacture, parts or
workmanship during the warranty period. The warranty does not apply where damage is caused by
other factors, including without limitation: (a) normal wear and tear; (b) abuse, mishandling, accident,
or failure to follow operating instructions; (c) exposure to liquid or inltration of foreign particles; (d)
servicing or modications of the product other than by hOme™ ; (e) commercial or non-household use.
The hOme™ warranty covers all costs related to restoring the proven defective product through repair or
replacement of any defective part and necessary labor so that it conforms to its original specications.
A replacement product may be provided instead of repairing a defective product. hOme™ ’s exclusive
obligation under this warranty is limited to such repair or replacement.
A receipt indicating the purchase date is required for any claim, so please keep all receipts in a safe
place. We recommend that you register your product on our website, homelabs.com/reg. Although
greatly appreciated, the product registration is not required to activate any warranty and product
registration does not eliminate the need for the original proof of purchase. The warranty becomes
void if attempts at repair are made by non-authorized third parties and/or if spare parts, other than
those provided by hOme™ , are used. You may also arrange for service after the warranty expires at an
additional cost.
These are our general terms for warranty service, but we always urge our customers to reach out to
us with any issue, regardless of warranty terms. If you have an issue with a hOme™ product, please
contact us at 1-800-898-3002, and we will do our best to resolve it for you.
This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you may have other legal rights which vary from state
to state, country to country or province to province. The customer may assert any such rights at their
sole discretion.
