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.

ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
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 eat 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.
OTE: 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.

SINGLE HOSE EXHAUST WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION
When you want quick spot cooling, install the P 4-10R/12R-01 using the single hose window kit installation.
For Single Hose Installation
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.
For Single Hose Window Kit Installation
To install the window kit, follow the same directions on page 6 for dual hose installation, but instead of using
the dual hose window kit panel, use the single hose panel pictured below.
