ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
When the unit is operating as an air conditioner or dehumidifier, the unit draws in fresh outdoor air and exhausts hot air
out of the room to complete the air exchange. When the unit is operating in fan or heater modes, 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 or heater.
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.

NOTE: The unit operates at low fan speed during dehumidifier mode. The unit cools room slightly during
the dehumidification. Keep the windows and doors closed to aid the effectiveness of the unit in removing the
moisture from the room.
NOTE: The unit will not perform in dehumidifier mode when the room temperature is lower than 61°F.
Fan Mode

Emerqency Condensate Holdinq Tank
When the room temperature is low and the indoor humidity is high, the air conditioner may not be able to
evaporate some of the moisture fast enough. When this happens, the water will accumulate in an emergency
condensate tank inside the unit. Once the emergency condensate tank is full, the unit will automatically shut
offand the" _ "will appear on the control panel display. To empty the condensate tank, pull the drain plug
at the bottom back of the unit. You will need a small pan, approximately 1" high to catch the water coming out
of the condensate tank. Once the condensate tank is drained, the unit will begin working within a few minutes.
The emergency condensate tank is approximately 1.5 Liters of water. Another option is to purchase a small
hose from a hardware store that can fit around the 5/8" drain plug on the back of the unit and drain the unit into
a gravity drain or larger pan for continuous drainage. It is not advised to use continuous drainage when the
room temperature is higher than 90°F.
