Welcome to the TOSOT Direct Family!
We’re extremely happy to welcome you as a new member of our family! Please
read the tips below before using your product for the first time.
1. The portable air conditioner is a heavy object, which needs two or more people
to lift and install. Failed to do so could result in injury or other accidents.
2. Allow the unit to sit upright for at least 3-4 hours before powering on. Shipping
carriers may set the unit on its side, which causes the refrigerant to pool in
certain areas. Standing the unit upright for 3-4 hours allows the refrigerant to
move freely within the coils.
3. Some parts with sharp edges may cause injury, so gloves are highly recommended
for unpacking and installing.
4. Run the unit continuously for 24 hours after letting the unit stand upright for 3-4
hours. This allows the unit to work out any “kinks” that may have resulted during
shipping from our factory to your doorstep.
5. For a quick start video guide of installation, please contact Customer Support.
6. If you have any problems with your product, please send us an email before
submitting a return request, as there might be a simple solution for your issue.

Safety and Instructions
01
Installation and Setup
Please read all instructions before use and save this user manual for future
reference. A digital version can be obtained from Customer Support.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us. We have provided
many important safety messages throughout this manual and on the appliance
itself. Always read and follow all posted safety messages.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or death to persons using or near
this appliance, please follow some basic safety precautions. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
● This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with
reduced or restricted physical, mental, or sensory capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless under the direct supervision of a person
responsible for their safety.
● Please keep plastic bags and sheets out of the reach of children as they might
be mistakenly used for play. Packaging materials can become airtight chambers
and may pose a risk of suffocation if not disposed of properly.
● When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or
damage the power cord.
● Never attempt to operate this appliance if it visibly damaged, malfunctioning,
disassembled or has missing or broken parts. This includes exposed wiring on
a damaged cord or electrical plugin. All repairs and servicing must be performed
by qualified service personnel. Use only authorized TOSOT factory OEM parts.
● Keep the product away from fire. Do not store or use flammable gases or
materials near the appliance.
● Do not use heating equipment near the appliance.
● In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.) do not operate this or any
other appliance. Open a window or door to ventilate the area immediately.

02
● Only use the appliance in an upright position. Make sure the angle of inclination
<10°. Always place the appliance on a stable, flat, level surface to prevent the
air conditioner from overturning.
Electrical Safety Warning
● If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized technical service center in order to avoid all risk.
● During the installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or
damage the power cord.
● Do not damage, alter, excessively bend, twist, pull or heat the power cord.
● Do not cover the power cord with a rug or carpeting.
● Do not rest hot or heavy objects on the appliance and power cord.
● Always plug into a fixed 115V AC ground outlet.
● Never plug or unplug the appliance with wet hands.
● Push the power plug all the way into the wall outlet so that it will not loose.
● Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet when taking it out.
● Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord.
● Never use the appliance if the outlet is damaged or loose.
● This product should be plugged directly into a power outlet. Power outlets should
be properly rated, protected, and sized in order to avoid electrical overload. Do
not use a multiple-outlet power strip or extension cord. Failure to do so may
result in short-circuit or electrical shock.
● Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
● Always unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning or maintenance operations.
● Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or not protected by
a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
wall power receptacle before using this appliance.

03
● Be sure that the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
● Do not run the air conditioner without the white plastic shell in place. This could
result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) plug
The power cord used with this air conditioner contains a current detection device
designed to reduce the risk of fire. In the event that the power supply cord is
damaged, it cannot be repaired. The power supply cord must be replaced with a
replacement cord received from the manufacturer by a trained service technician.
Always finish the test of LCDI plug before use:
Follow 4 steps on the LCDI plug case, if the TEST button does not cause the circuit
breaker trip or the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner
immediately and contact Customer Support.
1. Plug in the air conditioner.
2. The power supply cord will have two
buttons on the plug head. If you press
the TEST button you should notice a
clicking noise as the RESET button
pops out.
3. Press the RESET button again, and
you will notice a clicking noise as the
button engages.
4. The power supply cord is now supplying
electricity to the unit.
● Do not use the LCDI plug to turn the unit on or off
● Always make sure the RESET button is pushed in for correct operation
● The power supply must be replaced if it fails to reset when either the TEST
button is pushed, or it cannot be reset. Please contact us for more information.

There are 2 ways to remove collected water from the air conditioner. The drainage
hose needs to be installed first, following the step below.
Installing the drainage pipe
1. Remove the rubber plug from
the drainage port.

2. Use a screw to attach the
drainage pipe clip on the
bottom right side of the
rear case.
3. Insert the drainage pipe into the drainage port, then attach the pipe hoop to
keep the hose secure.
4. Insert the rubber plug into the other side of the drainage pipe, attach a pipe
hoop to keep the plug secure, then attach the drainage hose into the drainage
pipe clip.
Method A: Manual Drainage
When the chassis is full with water, the buzzer will beep 8 times and the display
panel will show an H8 malfunction code to remind you to drain the water.
1. Move the unit to a suitable place for discharging water. Make sure to keep the
unit horizontal and not tilt the unit so water does not spill.
2. Remove the drainage pipe from the drainage clip, then remove the rubber plug
on the pipe to drain the water.
3. After discharging the water, put the rubber plug back into the drainage pipe and
reattach to the drainage clip.
4. After draining, the unit will resume operation after the compressor has stopped
running for 3 minutes.
Method B: Continuous Drainage
Water can be drained into a floor drain by attaching a ½ inch diameter hose
1. Remove the continuous drain cap by turning
it counter-clockwise, then remove the now-
exposed rubber stopper from the spout.

Installing the Power Cord Hooks
1. Assemble the 2 power cord hooks on the back of the unit as shown below.
2. Screw the drain hose adapter into the
spout by twisting clockwise.
3. Insert the drainage hose into the drain
connector.
Note: When using the continuous drainage option, make sure that the air
conditioner is located on a flat, level surface and that the drain hose is directed
downwards and clear of any obstructions. Placing the air conditioner on an uneven
surface may result in the chassis filling with water until the H8 malfunction code is
displayed. If this occurs, empty the water in the chassis, then recheck the air
conditioner location and hose connection.
