INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Carefully review all of these instructions BEFORE proceeding to install and operate your air conditioner unit.
Failure to do so may cause damage, injury, or bodily harm including permanent disability and/or death.
LOCATION:
• The air conditioner should be placed on a rm foundation to minimize noise and virbration. For safe and
secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level oor strong enough to support the unit.
• The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, at surfaces. Use caution
when rolling on carpet surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the unit over objects.
• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly rated grounded socket.
• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
• Allow 1 to 3 feet (30cm to 100cm) of space from the wall with for ecient air-conditioning and prevent
overheating.
EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION:
The exhaust hose and adaptor must be installed or removed in accordance with the usage mode.
INSTALLED—Cooling, heat pump, or auto mode
REMOVED— Fan or dehumidify mode
1. Install the adapter B onto the exhaust hose as shown in Figure A.
2. Reseat the hook of the Exhaust hose into the hole seat of the air
outlet and slide down the Exhaust hose along the arrow direction
for installation. (see Figure B)
CAUTION EXHAUST PORT
Make sure that there are no obstacles within 18”or 50cm around the exhaust
outlet in order for the exhaust system to work properly.

3. Be sure not to let the hose develop a kink or operation will be
impeded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED:
SAVE $$$ &CONSERVE ENERGY
• Use the unit in the recommended room size.
• Locate the unit where furniture cannot obstruct the air ow.
• Keep blinds/curtains closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Keep the lters clean.
• Keep doors and windows closed to keep cool air in and warm air out
WATER DRAINAGE
Depending on your model, your A/C unit is equipped with two or three water outlets.
As shown in the diagram above, the three are:
P Upper drain outlet (all models).
I The lower drain outlet (IPAH – heat pump models only).
L Bottom tray drain outlet (all models).
All units are partially self-evaporative in cooling mode and do their best to evaporate
all the water through the exhaust hose. In dehumidification mode, however, water
will collect. There are also climates where excess condensation may collect and need
to be drained in cooling and heat pump modes. This section address these
situations:
COOLING MODE
You can test to see if and how often your climate requires drainage by just letting the
unit run. If it stops with a P 1 error, then water has collected and should be evacuated
by removing the bottom tray drain plug L. You can just leave your unit next to a
drain or attach a hose to the Bottom Tray drain outlet and lead to a drain, if this is
necessary.
DEHUMIDIFYING (DRY) MODE
Water will collect and must be drained. There are two methods you can use.
Option 1 (Figure F): Remove the upper drain plug P from the back of the unit. Install
the drain connector (5/8" universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (available in local
hardware stores). Place the open end of the hose adaptor directly over the drain area
in your basement floor.
Option 2 (Figure J): Wait until the unit stops with a P 1 error and drain the water
through the bottom tray drain outlet L.
HEAT PUMP MODE
If you have an IPAH model, it is equipped with a pump and drainage outlet. There are
two methods you can use to drain any excess water, if necessary:
Option 1 (Figure G): Remove the lower drain plug I from the back of the unit. Install
the drain connector (5/8" universal female mender) with 3/4” hose (available in local
hardware stores). Place the open end of the hose adaptor directly over the drain area
in your basement floor. Note that since this outlet has a pump attached, you can also
run this hose vertically – up to 2.6 feet, but be sure that it eventually bends
downwards again so that water doesn’t return to the unit. See Figure H for the
correct method and Figure I for the incorrect method.
Option 2 (Figure J): Wait until the unit stops with a P 1 error and drain the water
through the bottom tray drain outlet L.
Notes:
All drain outlets include the option for using a non-threaded type connector.
Avoid any kinks in any hoses that may stop the water flow.
