INSTA ATION
SE ECTING THE OCATION
Place the unit in a flat location where the air out-
lets are not o structed. Place the unit at least
20” (50cm) away from a wall or other o stacle.
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE
Slide the square end of the exhaust duct over the
hot air outlet on the ack of the unit.
The exhaust hose should e kept as short and
straight as possi le. Prevent any sharp ends in
the exhaust hose, as this will trap hot exhaust air.
The hot exhaust air can e vented through the
wall or out a window. If mounting in the wall, the
height of the hole should e 16 to 50 inches
(40cm to 130cm).
Soleus Air does not provide a venting kit for
through the wall ventilation. Venting through the
wall requires a custom installation.

CDI POWER CORD AND P UG
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 flexible 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 reduce 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
2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner
3. Press RESET button for use
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains 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.

vertical and horizontal windows, as well as some
sliding glass doors. However, it may e necessary to
modify some aspects of the installation process for
certain window types.
Open the window or sliding door and adjust the
length of the window kit to fit the opening. If
the window kit is not long enough, connect the
extra window kit panel to fit the opening. Mark
and cut down a single panel of the window kit
if necessary.
Place the window kit etween the window and the
window frame as shown in the images to the
right. Close the window onto the window kit to
form a tight seal.
Attach the exhaust duct adapter to the window kit.
Ta s located on the adapter will lock into
place securing the adapter to the window kit.

Emergency Condensate Holding Tank
When the unit is in cooling mode, unwanted water is extracted from the air. Most of this water is used to cool
the unit and make it run more efficiently. When the unit is used in extremely humid environments, water will
collect in a water container at the bottom of the unit. When the water container is full, the compressor will stop
but the fan will continue to run.
When the water container is full, the unit will display ‘ on the control panel until the tank is emptied. To
resume operation, empty the water container according to the following steps:
1. Turn the unit off. Do not move the unit when the water container is full.
2. Place the drain pan accessory under the drainage port at the back of the unit.
3. Remove the rubber plug from the drain hole. The condensate water will drain out automatically. When the
drain pan is full, replace the rubber plug into the drainage hole to stop the water flow. Empty the drain
pan. Repeat until all the water is emptied.
Once the water container has been emptied, replace the rubber plug into the drain hole firmly. Do not
allow the water to drip continuously into the drain pan, as it might easily overflow.
