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 flexi-
ble 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 re-
duce 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. The LED light will turn on.
2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner. When this occurs,
3. Press RESET button to restore power to the machine. Once power is restored, the LED light
will turn on again.
If test button is pressed and unit can still be turned 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.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
When the unit is operating as an air conditioner, heater, or dehumidifier, the unit draws in fresh outdoor air and exhausts
hot air (in AC or dehumidifier mode) or cool air (in Heat mode) out of the room to complete the air exchange. When the
unit is operating in fan mode, no outdoor air exchange takes place. The window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be
installed when the unit is used as a fan.
NOTE: The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 8 ft. long
(approximate length).
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSES
• 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 hoses 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. Repeat on the other exhaust hose.
• Remove outlet covers from the back of the unit by screwing them counter-clockwise, then lifting up.
• Mount the exhaust hoses onto the back of the unit by locking the hose adapters into place.
