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 flexi-
ble 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 test button is pressed and unit can still be turned on, current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Soleus Home Comfort Customer Service for trou-
bleshooting recommendations.
Note: Your unit’s power cord may differ from the one shown(see Page 5).
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 unit draws in indoor air and exhausts hot air 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.
NOTE: The supplied window kit can be installed in sliding windows and sliding glass doors up to 4.6 ft. long
(approximate length).
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 counter-clockwise.
 Screw the exhaust hose connector onto the other end of the exhaust hose counter-clockwise.
 Connect the exhaust hose over the Air Exhaust Hose Discharge Opening on the back of the unit.
 Open the window or door and adjust the length of window kit to fit the opening. Then make the kit
fixed.
 Attach the window kit adapter of the exhaust hose to the window kit.
