THANK YOU
Congratulations on your purchase of this Honeywell Local Air Conditioner.
Regarding the information pertaining to the installation, handling, servicing, cleaning and disposal
of the appliance, please refer to the below paragraph of the manual.
USER TIPS
Local Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The compressor, condenser and evaporator are
housed in a compact unit. The air is dehumidified and cooled while a flexible hose sends heat
outside. The Local Air Conditioner includes a window venting kit.
No permanent installation is needed. The unit is easy to move from room to room and offers a truly
flexible air conditioning solution.
Auto Evaporation System - The unit automatically evaporates the condensate through the hose.
There is no need to empty the drainage tank except in humid conditions. Read and follow the
instructions carefully.
To ensure optimal efficiency of the product, keep doors and windows closed when it is used as an air
conditioner or dehumidifier. If the product is being used with the fan function only, an open window
could improve air circulation.
EN
Important:
Before installing the unit, place it UPRIGHT for 1 hour before use to allow the refrigerant to stabilize.
Air outlet automatically opens when the unit is turned on, and automatically closes when the unit is
turned off. Manually adjust the air vent located at the top of the unit to adjust the direction of air flow.
Follow installation instructions to set up the unit.
Plug the unit into a properly grounded circuit. DO NOT plug into an extension cord.

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
IMPORTANT:
Do not replace or lengthen the hose as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
The supplied hose has a diameter of 5.9" (15 cm) and can be extended from
10.6" to 59" (27 cm to 150 cm).
Do not bend (to the extent shown below) the hose. A bent hose will block exhaust air
and cause the unit to malfunction or shut-off.
Make sure the back of the unit is at least 20" (50 cm) away from the wall. Do not place the unit in
front of curtains or drapes as this could obstruct the airflow.

WARNING: Any warranties included with this product will be voided if an extra extension hose is
added to the originally provided installation kit or if the installation is performed differently than the
manufacturer's instructions, without proper consultation. Please contact Customer Support for help
with installation procedures if needed.
Note: Due to the power input of the unit on start up, voltage drops may occur and this can influence
other equipment (e.g. dimming lights). Please make sure that the unit is connected to a supply with
a maximum permissible system impedance Zmax = 0.306 Ohm. If you require further clarification,
you may contact your local power supply authority.
