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 Powered by Gree Customer Service for trou-
bleshooting 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 or dehumidifier, the window kit and exhaust hose must be installed.
When the unit is operating in fan mode, the window kit and exhaust hose do not need to be installed .
MOUNTING THE EXHAUST HOSE
•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 hose 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.
•Mount the exhaust hose onto the back of the unit by locking the hose adapters into place.
•For maximum efficiency do not bend the hose as much as possible.

SINGLE HOSE WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION
When installing the exhaust hose, try and keep it as flat as possible. The less angles and bends
in the hose, the better the unit will perform. If bending or an angle is necessary, use single 90°
angles like the pictures above and below. Multiple bends will decrease performance and effi-
ciency

CONTROL PANEL & LED DISPLAY
CONTROL PANEL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Power On and Off - Press the POWER button once to manually turn the unit on. Press the POWER
button once more to turn the unit off.
2) Mode Selection - Press the MODE Button repeatedly to cycle between the different modes: Air Condi-
tioner, Dehumidifier, and Fan only mode. Each press of the MODE button will light up a different icon on
the control panel. The exhaust hose and window kit must be installed when the unit is in Air Conditioner or
Dehumidifier mode. When using the unit as a fan, it is not necessary to keep the exhaust hose and window
kit connected to the unit.
3) Temperature - Select the desired temperature by pressing either ▼or ▲ key when using the unit in
cooling mode. The digital thermostat will display the set temperature.
4) Louver Direction - This unit has 4-Way directional louvers. Use the louver guides to direct air where
cooling or fanning is needed most.
5) Bucket Full - When the unit cannot evaporate the collected moisture fast enough. The excess water will
collect in a backup water tank located inside the unit. The bucket full icon will light up if this occurs

Sleep Mode - Press the SLEEP mode button to engage SLEEP mode. Sleep mode automatically reduces
the set temperature by 2°F after one hour and 4°F after two hours. This feature limits compressor usage
and enhances energy savings while you are sleeping.
Auto Mode - When AUTO mode is selected the air conditioner will automatically choose the operating
mode base on the current room temperature. When the room is below 68°F the air conditioner will
automatically fan the room to circulate air. When the room temperature is between 68°F-73°F the air
conditioner will operate in Fan mode if it was previously selected or dehumidifier mode (if another mode
was used previously) to remove humidity from the air as well as some cooling to help lower the room
temperature. When the room temperature is between 74°F-79°F the air conditioner will always operate in
dehumidifier mode. When the room temperature rises above 79°F, the unit will operate in air conditioner
mode to maximize cooling. Auto mode uses pre-determined settings to keep you comfortable by choosing
the most energy efficient mode based on the temperature of the room.
