USER TIPS
THANK YOU
Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner.
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.
Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners are ideal for spot cooling. The compressor, condenser and
evaporator are housed in a compact unit. The air is filtered, dehumidified and cooled while a flexible air
outlet hose sends heat outside. The 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 air
outlet hose. There is no need to empty the drainage tank except in very humid conditions.
Read and follow the instructions carefully.
•
•
Follow installation instructions to set up the unit.
Plug the unit into a properly grounded circuit. DO NOT plug into an extension cord.
USER TIPS
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.

wise) the hose connector over the opposite end of the plastic hose. Ensure secure fit on both ends.
2. Adjust the window bracket as per width or
height of your window and insert the plastic
pin to fix at the desired position. There is a
hole where the Plastic Hose will be inserted
later. Make sure this hole is not blocked.
3. Connect the plastic hose to the hose
connector on back of the unit. Slide-in the
hose connector downwards until it is locked
in place.
4. Connect the window bracket to the window
bracket panel adapter. Ensure that all

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
IMPORTANT:
• Do not replace or lengthen the exhaust hose as this could cause the unit to malfunction.
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 manufactur-
er's instructions, without proper consultation. Please contact Customer Support for help with installation
if needed.
•
•
•
The supplied exhaust hose has a diameter of 5.9 inches (15 cm) and can be extended from 14.2
inches to 47.2 inches (36 cm to 120 cm).
Do not bend (to the extent shown below) the exhaust 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 50 cm / 20 inches away from the wall. Do not place the unit
in front of curtains or drapes as this could obstruct the airflow.
