SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the Manual carefully before operating the machine:
1. Read and keep these instructions.
2. Heed all warnings.
3. Follow all instructions.
4. Do not use this machine near water.
5. Clean it only with a damp cloth.
6. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the machine.
10. Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of this machine.
11. Unplug this machine during lightning storms or when it will not be used
for long periods of time.
12. Make sure that the available AC power matches the voltage
requirements of this machine.
13. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric
shock.
14. Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.
15. Do not turn the machine on or off by plugging or unplugging the power
cord.

16.Turn off the machine before unplugging it.
17.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the machine has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the machine, the
machine has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
18.To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this machine to rain,
moisture, dripping, or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids should be
placed on top of it.
19.Batteries of the control remote should not be exposed to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire, or the like.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
WARNING:
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electric shock, fire, or death.
• This unit must be properly grounded.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding plug.
• If you do not have a properly grounded AC outlet, or if there is any
doubt that the outlet is not properly grounded, a qualified electrician
should check the outlet and circuit and, if necessary, install a properly
grounded outlet.
• This air conditioner must be plugged into a grounded 115V, 60 Hz AC
outlet, protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• This air conditioner must be installed in accordance with national
wiring codes.
• Do not alter or modify the plug or cord of this air conditioner. If the
power cord becomes worn or damaged, the cord should only be
replaced by a qualified service technician using genuine replacement
parts.
• Do not use an extension cord.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Integrated circuit breaker
For additional safety, the power cord on this air
conditioner features an integrated circuit breaker.
You can test and reset the circuit breaker using
the buttons provided on the plug case. Consult a
qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
air conditioner is properly grounded.
The circuit breaker should be tested periodically
by pressing the TEST button, then pressing the
RESET button. If the TEST button does not cause
the circuit breaker to trip, or if the RESET button
does not stay engaged, unplug the air
conditioner immediately .
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.

SETTING UP YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER
Before using 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
diffuser 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.

Usually Portable air conditioner needs to be equipped with sliding
windows. We put two sealing plates in the packaging box of the machine,
and the size range after connection is 94cm-127.5cm (37in-50.20in). We
also have two spare parts, one short (40cm=15.75in) and one long
(67.5cm=26.57in) with "Clip".
9
15.75in
26.57in
If your window size is small, just between 67.5cm-98cm
(26.57in-38.58in), you can buy a piece of short board (40cm=15.75in) and
then assemble it with the one piece board with clip;
If your window size is large and there is still a gap on the side of the
window where the two sealing panels are installed, you can buy another long
panel (67.5cm=26.57in), the size range after connection is
135cm-187cm(53.15in-73.62in).
If your room has a casement window, you can also buy our sealing cloth
to use.
And in the packaging bag, we also prepared 4 piece of sealing plate
sponges. Just adjust the sealing plate to the size of the window, then tear off
the spacer paper of the sponge, and stick the sponges along the circumference
of the sealing plate. It can well prevent hot air from entering room from
outside, and keeping the indoor temperature cool.

4.Insert the hose adapter into the vent panel (A), then slide the adapter until
it clicks into place (B).
Slide
(Optional): Secure the venting hose to the vent adapter using the
included screw.

Note: For optimum performance, make sure the venting hose is not
twisted and is free of kinks. For better eciency, shorten the hose by
squeezing its sections together.

Caution: The exhaust duct is designed especially for this air
conditioner. Replacing or lengthening the duct could result in
damage to your unit.

Note:
When the unit is installed in a flat and dry place,50cm(19.7 in)space must be
left around the unit to make the air flow smoothly. As shown in follow figure.
The best installation distance is 50 cm (19.7 in)from the back of the unit body
to the wall and 90 cm (35.4 in)from the air outlet to the bottom of the unit.
