INSTALLATION
The air conditioner requires being vented outside so that the exhaust air can escape the room. Do
not replace or extend exhaust hose beyond its specication. This will result in decreased efciency
of the unit and may cause the unit to shut down due to low backpressure.
STEP 1: Connect the hose connector to one end of the exhaust hose.
STEP 2: Connect the windows kit adapter to the other end of the exhaust hose.
STEP 3: Extend the adjustable window kit the length of your window. Connect the exhaust hose to
the window kit. The window kit can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
The window kit can be adjusted from 25.6”-47.2” (0.65-1.2m).
The exhaust hose can be adjusted from 9.4”-59” (240-1500mm).
STEP 4: Open the window and place the window kit on the inside edge of the window. Adjust the
window seal plate to the width of the window. Once secure, close the window to secure it
in place.
Note : Depending on the type of window frame, for some window installations the use of duct tape
may be ideal to better seal the window kit to attain a better closed seal which will yield
maximum efciency.

STEP 5: Attach the hose connector to the exhaust air outlet of unit.
STEP 6: Adjust the length of the flexible exhaust hose. Avoid bends in the hose and ensure that the
unit is near the electrical outlet.

temperatures, frost may buildup at the evaporator during operation. To ensure ideal operation of the
unit, the units built in Automatic defrost function will activate. the air conditioner unit will
automatically start defrosting and the POWER LED will blink.
The auto defrost feature will operate in cooling setting. When in cooling operation, if the unit
ambient temperature sensor senses the evaporator coil temperature to be below -1°F, the com-
pressor will stop operating for 10 minutes. When the coil temperature sensor detect 7 °F, the unit
will restart to cool operating mode
Overload Protection
In the event of a powerloss,to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the
compressor restarts.
Drainage (Dehumidfying)
Built into this unit is self-evaporating drainage feature. Under normal operating conditions, the
self-evaporative feature of the unit will operate without issue or maintenance being required.
However, in high humidity conditions, you may need to drain manually water from the unit (Ft error).
You may also choose to do continuous drain option, which would drain water automatically from the
unit (in dehumidifier mode).
To Drain Manually
1. Turn off the power to the unit and unplug
2. Place a water tray under the drainage port at the bottom of the unit to collect water
3. Remove the rubber drainage plug and allow water to drain
4. Replace the plug, when drainage water stops flowing
For continuous drainage into a floor drain
To operate similar to a stand alone dehumidier, you may choose to use continuous drain option:
• Turn off the power to the unit and unplug the unit.
• Remove the plug of the water outlet opening.
• Attach the drain hose. Ensure that the hose is straight without any knots and clear of
obstruction.
• Place the other end of the drainage hose into a floor drain.
•Replace the rubber sealing plug after operation to prevent leaks.
