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:

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 14.5” (368mm) 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

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. 2& FIG. 3)
2. Once the air conditioner is placed, extend both the left
and right accordion panels to the width of the window.
4. Secure the left and right flanges on end bottom side
3. Place the curtain lock between the curtain extensions
and the window sill, drive long screws through the
lock and into the sill as shown below.
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. Insert the side curtains into the upper and lower rails
of the air conditioner. Fasten the curtains to the unit
4. Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side
panel of the air conditioner.Do this for each side. The
flange for securing the curtain into the window sill will
be facing the room side when installed.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)
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. 4).
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.
