SELECTING THE LOCATION
Place the unit in a flat location where the air out-
lets are not obstructed. Place the unit at least
20” (50cm) away from a wall or other obstacle.
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE
Slide the square end of the exhaust duct over the
hot air outlet on the back of the unit.
The exhaust hose should be kept as short and
straight as possible. Prevent any sharp bends in
the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air.
The hot exhaust air can be vented through the
wall or out a window. If mounting in the wall, the
height of the hole should be 16 to 50 inches
(40cm to 130cm).
Soleus Air does not provide a venting kit for
through the wall ventilation. Venting through the
wall requires a custom installation.
NOTE:The Portable Air Conditioner above may differ from the unit described in this manual. The above directions and images
show general directions for all Soleus Air single hose portable air conditioners.

LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and
plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord
with no termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the
nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value.
The cord will remain de-energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk
of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must
be considered a shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed
metal.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test:
1. Plug power cord into wall outlet
2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner
3. Press RESET button for use
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Soleus Air Customer Service for troubleshooting
recommendations.
WARNING:
1. DO NOT press the TEST button while the air conditioner is operating.
2. The TEST and RESET buttons should not be used as “ON” and “OFF” switches.
3. The cord and plug are not intended to offer protection to externally connected loads or supply circuits.
4. The cord and plug are intended for indoor use only.

WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION
The window kit is designed to fit into most standard
vertical and horizontal windows, as well as some
sliding glass doors. However, it may be necessary to
modify some aspects of the installation process for
certain window types.
• Open the window or sliding door and adjust
the length of the window kit to fit the opening.
If the window kit is not long enough, connect
the extra window kit panel to fit the opening.
Mark and cut down a single panel of the win-
dow kit if necessary.
• Place the window kit between the window
and the window frame as shown in the im-
ages to the right. Close the window onto the
window kit to form a tight seal.
• Attach the exhaust duct adapter to the win-
dow kit. Tabs located on the adapter will lock
into place securing the adapter to the window
kit.
