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
risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded 
must be considered a shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground 
any exposed metal.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test:

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
When the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the unit draws in indoor air and exhausts hot air 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 4. ft. long
(approximate length).

tioner is good to go.
Open the window or door to adjust the length of the window kit to
fit the opening. If necessary, mark the kit and cut one end down to

Air Conditioner mode. The temperature indicator flashes to display the desired temperature setting. Af-
ter the desired temperature is set, the temperature indicator will flash 10 seconds before it returns to
