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.

AIRCONDITIONERUSE
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes
before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner
from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling
mode when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air
conditioner will operate properly.
NOTE:
In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.
