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 length of the hose is scientifically determined by the specifications and airflow of the air
conditioner. Extending the hose beyond the specified dimensions can cause heat to collect or flow
back into the air conditioner causing the unit to malfunction.
The supplied hose has a diameter of 5.9" (15 cm) and can be extended from
9.8'' to 59'' (25cm to 150cm).
Do not bend (to the extent shown above) 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

Continuous drainage is then necessary (refer to Continuous Draining for Dehumidifier Mode).
IMPORTANT: The Dehumidifier Mode is used to support moisture reduction but should not be
expected to dehumidify to the same degree as a standard dehumidifier only appliance. The
built-in dehumidifier automatically adjusts dehumidification based on ambient room temperatures.
It is not possible to adjust to a desired humidity percentage. The front display only shows the
current and desired temperatures. It does not show humidity levels.

the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:
Unplug the unit from power source.
Place a drain pan under the lower rubber drain plug.
See diagram.
Remove the drain plug cap.
Water will drain out and collect in the shallow pan.
After the water is drained, replace the drain plug cap.
You can now turn on the unit.

Manual Draining in Cooling, Dehumidifying Modes
IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended to connect the drain hose for continuous drainage while the
unit is switched ON in air conditioning cooling mode. Doing so will reduce the cooling efficiency
of the Local Air Conditioner. Only drain the water condensation when the unit is switched off.
Continuous drainage is only suitable when the unit is set up in Dehumidifier mode.
Unplug the unit from power source.
Remove the upper drain plug cap.
Some residual water may spill so please have a pan to
collect the water.
