This is a safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can harm you or others or even cause
death.
All safety messages will directly follow the safety alert symbol and/or the words
“DANGER” or “WARNING”.
Failure to immediately follow these
instructions may cause serious injury
or even death.
All Safety messages alert you of potential hazards, how to reduce the chance of injury,
and what can happen if instructions are not followed correctly.
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use a plug adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Unplug the air conditioner before servicing
• Use two or more people to move and install the air

Recommended Ground Method
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is equipped with a 3 prong power
supply cord with a grounded plug. To minimize the possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be plugged into a 3 prong
outlet and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is not available, it is the cus-
tomer’s responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
LCDI Power Cord and Plug
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord that is required
by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is damaged
and leakage occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:
1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet
2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
3. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner (on some units a green light
may turn off.
4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the A/C is not ready for use.
NOTES:
• The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
• The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.
• Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The
power supply cord is designed as a protection device.
• A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord from Soleus Air Powered by Gree.
• The power supply cord contains new user serviceable parts.
Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and per-
formance claims.
NOTE: Your units power cord and plug may differ from the one
shown.

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Some assembly is required for your new air conditioner. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
1. This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a
standard double-hung window with a window width
between 22” and 36” (559 mm - 914 mm).
2. The air conditioner can be installed without the
accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening.
See the window dimensions.
3. The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that
moves up and down) must allow for 13.25” of vertical
clearance when open. (See FIG. 1).
4. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood,
masonry, or metal.
5. The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power
cord.

NOTE: Save the product packaging and installation instruc-
tions for future reference. Store the air conditioner in the
product box when not in use for an extended period of time.
FIG. 1
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from
the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front
and rear coils.

TOP RAIL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Top Rail and the side Sliding Panels are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16”). This is necessary
for proper condensation utilization and drainage. If you are not using the side panels, the rear pitch must still be main-
tained.
1. Remove the backing from the top mounting rail seal strip and attach the seal strip to the bottom of the top rail. Align
along the front edge.
2. Attach the top rail onto the top of the outer case using the four 2/5” screws.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)

Placing the Unit Inside a Normal Window
1. Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom
mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air con-
ditioner and close the window securely behind the top
mounting rail. The air conditioner should be slightly
tilted to the outside area. Use a level; about a 1/3 bub-
ble will be the correct case slant to the outside. (See
FIG. 5 & FIG. 6)
2. Once the air conditioner is placed, extend both the left
and right accordion panels to the width of the window
SEE FIGURE 7).
3. Drive 4/5” screws into the top of the accordion panel
frame and the top rail to securely attach the window air
conditioner to the lower sash. (See FIG. 8 )
Accordion Panel Installation
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install
the accordion panels on each side.
1. Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.
2. Locate the accordion panels in the box.
3. Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See
FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.
4. Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side
panel of the air conditioner (See FIG. 3 & 3A). Do this
for each side.
5. Once the accordion panels are slid into place, make
sure you leave enough space to slip on the top and
bottom rails (See FIG. 4). Now, slide the top and bot-
tom of the side panels inside top and bottom rails (See
FIG. 4A). Adjust the panels until they fit securely inside
the rails

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)
4. To secure the lower sash into place, use the sash lock
and a 4/5 ” screw as shown below (See FIG. 9)
5. For added insulation, cut the supplied insulation foam
to the width of the window. Insert the foam between the
window sashes to prevent air and objects from getting
into the room. (See FIG. 10)
IF AC is Blocked by a Storm Window
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to
tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the
sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at
least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is ap-
proximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This
will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain-
age. (See FIG. 12).
Removing the Air Conditioner from the
Window
1. Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect the power
cord.
2. Remove the sash seal from between windows, and
unscrew sash lock.
3. Remove the screws installed through the frame and
frame lock.
4. Close (slide) the side panels into frame.
5. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise the sash
and carefully “rock” air conditioner backward to drain
any condensate water in base of unit. Be careful not to
spill any remaining water while lifting unit from window.
6. Store parts with the air conditioner in the box
