INSTALLATION
SELECTING THE LOCATION
Place the unit on a flat surface in an area where
the outlets are not obstructed. Place the unit at
least 20” away from all adjacent walls.
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE
Slide the square front end of the exhaust
duct over the hot air outlet on the back of
the unit.
The exhaust hose should be kept as
short and straight as possible. Prevent
any sharp bends in the exhaust hose, as
this will trap hot exhaust air and cause
the unit to run less efficiently.
The hot exhaust air can be vented through the
wall or out a window. If mounting in the wall, the
height of the hole should be 16 to 50 inches
(40cm to 130cm).

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 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.
