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%&'"

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 ĀONāand ĀOFFā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.

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.

First, take the Track Screws (A) and screw one
into each of the small holes found on the Hose
Panels (C1 & C2).
3. Next, take the Wing Nuts (B) and tighten them
around each of the Track Screws (A). Do not tighten
the Wing Nuts (B) all the way; make sure they are
somewhat loose.
4. Now, place the Sliding Track Panel (D) over
the Track Screw (A) on Hose Panel (C1). 
5. Next, take the other Hose Panel (C2) and connect
it to Hose Panel (C1) by placing the Sliding Track
Panel (D) over the Track Screw (A) on Hose Panel
(C2).
6. The Hose Panels (C1 &C2) should now be
connected using the Sliding Track Panel (D).
7. To complete the assembly, tighten the wing Nuts
(B) installed earlier. The finished Window Kit
should resemble the image seen below.

Install only the left exhaust hose over the circular air outlet (this outlet will be on the left side of the unit when
you are facing the back of the unit). Cover the right circular air intake using the exhaust intake cover. After
installing the hose remove the square air intake cover on the back of the unit and install the square air intake
vent with removable/washable filter.
