ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
When the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the window kit and exhaust hose must be installed.
When the unit is operating in fan mode, the window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed .
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE
• Choose a suitable location, near a grounded electrical outlet and suitable window or door. Remove
packaging and locate components.
• Extend both ends of the exhaust hose approximately 6 inches.
• Screw the window kit adapter onto one end of the exhaust hose clockwise. Screw the hose adapter onto
the other end of the exhaust hose clockwise.
• Mount the exhaust hose onto the back of the unit by locking the hose adapters into place.

SINGLE HOSE WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION
When installing the exhaust hose, try and keep it as flat as possible. The less angles and bends
in the hose, the better the unit will perform. If bending or an angle is necessary, use single 90°
angles like the pictures above. Multiple bends will decrease performance and efficiency

enhances energy savings while you are sleeping.
7) Auto Mode - When AUTO mode is selected the air conditioner will automatically choose the operating
mode base on the current room temperature. When the room is below 68°F the air conditioner will
automatically fan the room to circulate air. When the room temperature is between 68°F-73°F the air
conditioner will operate in Fan mode if it was previously selected or dehumidifier mode (if another mode
was used previously) to remove humidity from the air as well as some cooling to help lower the room
temperature. When the room temperature is between 74°F-79°F the air conditioner will always operate in
dehumidifier mode. When the room temperature rises above 79°F, the unit will operate in air conditioner
mode to maximize cooling. Auto mode uses pre-determined settings to keep you comfortable by choosing
the most energy efficient mode based on the temperature of the room.

When the temperature or humidity is too high, the air conditioner may not be able to evaporate all of the water
as quickly as needed. All moisture that is unable to be evaporated is placed in a small bank up water tank in-
side the unit. When this tank is completely full, an alarm will sound, the compressor will shut off, and the
bucket full icon will light up on the control panel. To manually empty the tank, please follow the instructions
below.
