CAUTION ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
• Be sure your electrical wiring is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on
the rating label, a silver-colored sticker generally located on the upper-right side of the cabinet.
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is
important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be connected to a properly
grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend
to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time de-
lay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper recepta-
cle.
• Ensure the receptacle is accessible aer the unit installation. The power supply
cord contains a current device that senses damage to the power cord and ex-
cess current draw from the unit. To test your current device do the following:
1. Plug in the Air Conditioner.
2. Press the TEST button. You will hear a click as the RESET button pops out within
the rubber housing and the LED will turn o.
3. Press the RESET button. You will hear a click as the button engages and the LED
will illuminate.
4. The power supply cord is now supplying electricity to the unit.
Note: Your model may have the TEST and RESET buttons on the side or the front
of the plug head.
NOTES:
• Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons to turn the unit on or o.
• If the current device fails the test or the power cord becomes damaged, the entire power cord must be re-
placed with an equivalent power cord and current device by a licensed electrician.
 Stop operation and remove window filler
panels from window during severe storm or
hurricane.
 Hold the plug by the head of the power
plug when unplugging unit.
 Unplug the power cord when not using
the unit for extended periods of time.
• Operation during a severe storm may allow
a significant amount of water to enter the
indoors.
• Pulling from the wire can cause wire to fray
leading to electric shock or fire. • Will prevent damage to the unit.
Do not place obstacles around air-intake
vents or inside cool air outlet.
Do not place heavy objects on the
power cord and ensure that the cord
is not pinched or stressed.
 Always insert the filters securely.
Clean filter at least once per month.
• It may cause failure of appliance. • There is danger of fire or electric shock.
• Operation with dirty filters (or without
filters) will eect performance and may
cause damage to the unit.
Do not use strong detergent such as
wax or paint thinner to clean the unit.
Use a damp, so cloth.
• Appearance may deteriorate due to change
of product color or scratching of its surface.
CAUTION
NOTE: The power supply cord with this air conditioner
contains a current detection device designed to reduce the risk
of fire. In the event that the power supply cord is damaged, it
cannot be repaired -- it must be replaced with a cord from the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully review all of these instructions BEFORE proceeding to install and operate your air conditioner unit. Fail-
ure 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 firm, level surface to minimize
noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioning, place the unit on a
smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.
• The unit has casters to aid in maneuverability, but it should only be rolled
on smooth, flat surfaces. Use caution when rolling on carpeted 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 for eicient
air-conditioning and to prevent overheating.
EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION
NOTE: For your unit to function properly, it is imperative that the exhaust hose
be vented to the outside when used in Auto, Cooling and dehumidify modes.
1. Attach the adapters to the exhaust hose by snapping them in place as
shown in Figure B.
2. Insert the connector of the now-assembled exhaust hose into the hole
seat of the air outlet and slide the exhaust hose down along the arrow’s
direction as shown in Figure C. Pay attention to the tabs so that the con-
nector clicks into place.
The exhaust hose can be compressed or extended moderately according to
installation requirements, but it is preferable to shorten the hose to desired
length.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER-BEND OR KINK THE EXHAUST HOSE.
(Figure D)
EXHAUST PORT
Make sure that there are no obstacles within 18” (50cm) around the exhaust outlet in order for the exhaust system
to work properly.

WATER DRAINAGE
Certain functions of your air conditioning unit create condensation and the unit
may need to evacuate accumulated water. Please carefully follow these instruc-
tions according to your operating and usage conditions.
COOLING MODE
During cooling mode, the unit attempts to evacuate all of the moisture through
the exhaust hose to the outside along with the warm air exhaust. At times, when
the humidity level is very high, excess water may collect in the bottom tray. If the
water level of the bottom tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8
times, the digital display area shows error P1 . At this time the air conditioning/
dehumidification process will immediately stop, even though the fan motor may
continue running (this is normal).
Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let
the water drain away (see Figure E). Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart
the machine until the P1 symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.
NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE ONLY
Remove the upper drain plug from the back of the unit and simply attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the
open end of the hose adapter directly over the drain area in your floor or into another receptacle (see Figure F).
NOTE: Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward a drain that is located lower
than the unit, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop water flow. Place the end of the hose into the
drain and make sure the end of the hose is down to let the water flow smoothly (see Figure F). Do not li up the
hose as this may cause water to flow back into the unit.
WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATION
Your window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard double-hung and slider windows, However, it may
be necessary for you to improvise/modify some aspects of the installation procedures for certain types of win-
dows. Please refer to Figure G & Figure H for minimum and maximum window openings. The window slider kit
can be fixed with an included security peg (see Figure I).
