Temporary grounding
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an
adapter plug. If an adapter plug must be used for a temporary
connection, use only a UL-listed adapter with a minimum capacity of
120V~60Hz, 13A, and 1560W. Make sure that the large slot of the adapter
is aligned with the large slot in the outlet.
To prevent damage to the adapter’s ground terminal, hold the adapter in
place while plugging or unplugging the air conditioner.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not
insulated and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal
on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.

Setting up your portable air conditioner
Remove and store (optional) packing materials for reuse. Remove any
shipping tape before using the air conditioner. Remove tape residue with
liquid dish soap and a damp cloth. Do not use sharp tools, alcohol,
thinners, or abrasive cleaners to remove adhesive, which could damage
the finish.
Placing your air conditioner
Place the unit on a flat, dry area near a window, so you can use the hose
and adapter to connect the air conditioner to the window installation kit
in order to vent the exhaust air outside.
To maintain good air circulation and optimum machine performance,
leave a 20 in. (50 cm) space around it.
Notes
• Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air conditioner
for extended periods.
• When used at the same time as stoves, fireplaces, or other
combustion/heating devices, make sure that there is
sufficient flow of fresh air into the room. Do not use in
tightly closed spaces with these types of devices.
• This air conditioner is intended for household use as a
consumer comfort appliance. Do not use it as a precision
climate control system for the purpose of cooling precision
equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, and so on. Such
items could be damaged.
• Do not bend the hose downward when the window
installation kit is not being used. Doing so may cause
inferior performance or failure of the air conditioner.

temperature and fan speed.
FAN–The fan circulates the air, but the compressor does not run to cool it. Use the SPEED button to set the
desired fan speed.
AUTO– In Auto mode, the air conditioner function is determined by the ambient temperature. If the
temperature is higher than 77° F (25° C), the air conditioner runs in cooling mode. If lower than 77° F (25° C),
the air conditioner runs in fan mode.
Cycles through the available fan speeds. The LED next to the SPEED button displays the fan speed. The speed
